Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform the pedagogical landscape for English language learning, by providing unprecedented levels of customization, interaction, and immersion. A new paradigm in language education has been introduced through the use of machine learning and natural language processing that emphasizes the individual need of each learner, real-time feedback, and engaging, context-rich learning environments. It is also important to note that the integration of gamification and virtual reality with AI technologies represents an extremely promising methodology for increasing motivation and facilitating the practical application of language skills in simulated real-world conditions. As part of the study, it is also examined to what extent adaptive assessment tools powered by artificial intelligence can provide more accurate and personalized evaluations of language proficiency. This paper presents a comprehensive review of current technologies and methodologies to demonstrate how AI-enhanced learning environments can not only improve language acquisition outcomes but also reinvent traditional approaches to language instruction.
