Abstract
Moroccan higher education is rapidly transforming due to the development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, this technology which offers next opportunities to the field of language learning. However, the effect of this technology regarding oral communicative competency remains under-researched. The present study's aim is to investigate students' perceptions regarding AI's capacity to develop their communicative competencies. A quantitative design is employed, data is collected via an online questionnaire administered by 135 students. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is used to assess adoption, and the CEFR guided the analysis of oral competency components.The findings revealed a positive perception of AI. Students mainly perceive AI as a collaborative tool to improve their oral communicative competency. The study concludes that AI is considered as a compagnon in the process of learning languages, not just as an optional tool.
