AI-ENHANCED USE OF AUTHENTIC VIDEO MATERIALS FOR DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING AND COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, authentic video materials, critical thinking, communicative competence, language learning, AI toolsAbstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in language education has significantly transformed traditional teaching approaches, particularly through the use of authentic video materials. Authentic videos, which reflect real-life language use, provide learners with meaningful context and exposure to natural communication. When combined with AI technologies, these materials become more interactive, adaptive, and effective in developing higher-order thinking skills and communicative competence. This study explores how AI-enhanced authentic video materials contribute to the development of students’ critical thinking and communicative skills in foreign language learning. AI tools such as speech recognition systems, automated feedback platforms, and intelligent tutoring systems enable personalized learning experiences and real-time evaluation. The research also examines the pedagogical benefits and challenges of integrating AI into video-based instruction. The findings suggest that AI-supported authentic video materials significantly improve learners’ engagement, analytical abilities, and communication skills. However, effective implementation requires a balanced approach that combines technological innovation with pedagogical guidance.
