Abstract
This research project focuses on the development and evaluation of BikiUNT, a Telegrambased educational chatbot designed to support high school students in Kazakhstan preparing for the Unified National Testing (UNT) in English. The study aims to address the lack of accessible, localized, and exam-oriented digital resources for learners, particularly in underserved and rural areas. Through a pilot implementation involving 20 students, the study assessed the chatbot’s effectiveness in terms of usability, perceived usefulness, motivation, and learning engagement. Key features such as grammar modules, multimedia lessons, diagnostic testing, and gamification were explored. The results indicate high user satisfaction and suggest that BikiUNT can serve as a scalable and cost-effective EdTech solution for exam preparation in the national context.
