Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the advantages and disadvantages of a ChatGPT, in the process of studying English in secondary school. We tested ChatGPT to check English grammar, vocabulary, phonetics and ability to do exercises from reading comprehension information. There were 66 tests in the process of research. The tests were taken from websites for teachers, collections of exercises in English language for the 4th grade and from the textbook for the students of the additional professional retraining program for English language teachers in the Chelyabinsk region "English. Phonetics". During the research, it was found that the chatbot is successfully doing grammar and vocabulary at the primary and 9-11th grade level and reading at the primary level. The chatbot also differentiates transcriptions of British pronunciation and American pronunciation. It is also worth noting that one of the main advantages of ChatGPT is its accessibility. Learners can use the chatbot at any time and any place where there is access to the Internet. This makes learning English more flexible and convenient. However, the chatbot makes mistakes in sound grouping tasks and reading tasks for students in grades 9-11. Our research shows that the chatbot cannot replace a tutor. It is important for students to be able to ask questions and receive individualized feedback from the teacher to make sure they understand the material correctly. So ChatGPT is a useful learning instrument that can help students improve their grammar, vocabulary, and reading skills, but it requires double-checking with other sources and cannot replace individualized attention to each student and regular practice of English speaking.
