Abstract:

This study aimed at investigating the impact of ChatGPT-generated and illustrated stories on enriching children literature in terms of generating fictional short stories tailored precisely to young Omani learners. Also, it aimed at exploring the impact of these stories on enhancing five graders’ Omani students’ vocabulary repertoire. It employed a one group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design; the pre-test and post-test were the same with 25 vocabulary items. A 2-weeks summer course classroom consisting of twelve students recieveed the treatment. Their age was between 9 and 10 years. It was found that those stories have played a remarkable role in providing learners with interesting, rich literature in terms of joy and and imagination as well as they have enhanced their vocabulary repertoire. The post-test vocabulary mean score (M=10.83, SD=3.21) was significantly higher than that of the pre-test (M=3.85, SD=2.53). It was clear than five-graders learnt a good number of words related to their daily life which has contributed to making the learning process meaningful and fruitful. Regarding learners’ attitudes towards those stories, they held highly positive attitudes, and they showed a great interest in learning English through these stories and the effective illustrating pictures. Consequently, it is recommended that this study be replicated with a different age group, particularly Cycle 2 students, who are teenagers and show a strong interest in cutting-edge technology, including the latest version of ChatGPT as a user-friendly private tutor. The recommended study would explore the impact of ChatGPT-generated literature on student learning and examine the extent to which it might boost their learning autonomy
