This survey study aims to examine the experiences, perceptions, and attitudes of Cambodian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) university students toward the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English language education. Based on responses to an online questionnaire by 328 Cambodian EFL university students (57% were females), the study showed that most students experienced using AI tools or applications for English language learning. However, about 70% of them never received any training on how to use AI for English language learning, leaving almost half of them (44.51%) feeling only moderately ready to use AI for English language learning. Challenges of using AI tools or applications were mainly related to concerns about data privacy and security when interacting with AI. Major opportunities were associated with AI’s support in completing class assignments, improving learning gains, and learning the language through language translation tools. The study revealed that Cambodian EFL university students had positive attitudes toward AI for English language learning. They recommended choosing AI tools or applications that could easily be customized to meet the varying needs of both teachers and students. The study concluded with implications for utilizing AI in English language education and suggestions for future research.
