CONTRIBUTIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Abstract

This paper explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing English language learning. It highlights the limitations of traditional teaching methods, which includes: lack of personalisation, inadequate resources and disengaging classroom environments. The study identifies how AI technologies, such as, Natural Language Processing (NLP), speech recognition, intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, and AI-powered mobile applications address these challenges. Through personalized instruction, real-time feedback, and interactive learning environments, AI is revolutionizing language acquisition. Empirical studies and case examples demonstrate that AI does not only boost language proficiency, but also improves learners’ motivation, confidence, and autonomy. The paper advocates structured integration of AI tools in language education to foster effective and equitable learning outcomes.
