ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language education has transformed the process of teaching and learning foreign languages. This article explores the pivotal role of AI in enhancing language instruction by providing personalized learning experiences, intelligent tutoring systems, and adaptive assessment tools. AI-powered applications, such as chatbots, speech recognition, and machine translation tools, enable learners to practice language skills in immersive, real-world scenarios.  These technologies foster greater engagement, improve pronunciation, and enhance vocabulary acquisition. Additionally, AI algorithms analyze learner data to tailor content, identify weaknesses, and offer targeted interventions, ensuring effective progress for diverse learners.  The article also examines the challenges of implementing AI in language teaching, including ethical concerns, accessibility, and the need for teacher training. By highlighting the synergies between AI and human educators, this study underscores the potential of AI to complement traditional teaching methods, democratize language education, and prepare learners for global communication in an increasingly interconnected world.
