To examine how university English majors utilize and perceive ChatGPT compared to conventional monolingual and bilingual lexical resources in their academic work.
Surveyed 225 Polish university students majoring in English between October 2023 and June 2024.
Assessed student preferences, frequency of use, and perceived reliability across AI platforms and digital dictionaries.
ChatGPT was widely perceived as an efficient utility for writing, translation, and ideation, with students favoring its rapid response generation despite doubts about accuracy.
Traditional tools remained primary references, with Cambridge Dictionary and Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary leading monolingual use, and Google Translate and Diki.pl leading bilingual use.
Smartphones were identified as the increasingly dominant hardware medium for accessing lexical and dictionary resources.
