Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, English Language Teaching, adaptive learning, natural language processing, automated assessment, personalized learning, educational technology, learner autonomy, digital tools, language acquisition.Abstract
This study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT), focusing on its impact on teaching practices, learning outcomes, and learner engagement. The research examines key AI applications, including adaptive learning systems, natural language processing tools, automated assessment, and conversational agents. Findings indicate that AI enhances personalized learning, provides immediate feedback, and supports the development of language skills in flexible and interactive environments. However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, unequal access to technology, and the need for teacher training remain significant. The study concludes that AI should be integrated thoughtfully as a complementary tool to traditional teaching, ensuring balanced, effective, and inclusive language education.
