Abstrakt: ChatGPT, a large language model, has become increasingly popular, and students have begun to use it for the purpose of learning. The purpose of this research is to explore the experiences of undergraduate English language and literature students from Bangladesh who are using ChatGPT. Qualitative research methods were utilized for this study and the data were collected using semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis technique was employed to analyze the data. The study reveals both positive and negative experiences associated with the use of ChatGPT by students from the English Language and Literature department. ChatGPT helps students to practice their reading and writing skills. It aids them to provide literary explanations of their texts and helps students to understand complex literary texts in lucid language. However, it sometimes provides confusing or wrong answers and provides wrong explanations regarding literary texts. As students possess some negative experiences along with many positive experiences, they are inclined to continue using it with heightened awareness of their use. However, users in this study believe that its use should be limited, and it should be used as a complement rather than a primary tool. The findings of this research may provide educators and policymakers with valuable insights that might help them integrate new aspects of artificial intelligence in education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
