The research investigates the perceptions of Ho Chi Minh University of Banking students on the use of ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek in English medium instruction (EMI) classrooms to enhance their language and content learning skills. As artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly incorporated into EMI classrooms, these AI-powered apps provide students with instant feedback, grammar fixes, and writing guidance. In order to understand EMI students’ experiences, benefits, and challenges with these technologies, the research collects data from them through surveys and interviews using a mixed-methods technique. According to the research’s findings, students find ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek to be highly helpful for generating ideas, improving their language, and structuring their work. Because of their usability and accessibility, they are also useful resources for self-directed learning. However, there were also disadvantages, such as an over-reliance on information produced by AI, occasional mistakes, and a lack of comprehensive explanations. The research highlights how crucial it is to teach EMI students how to critically use AI tools in order to enhance learning outcomes. The research contributes to the growing body of research on AI-assisted language learning and provides teachers and educators with useful information about integrating AI technologies into English language instruction.
