THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON ENGLISH EDUCATION

Abstract

artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most influential technologies in modern education. In English language teaching and learning, AI-powered tools provide personalized instruction, instant feedback, and interactive learning experiences. The integration of technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, speech recognition software, and generative AI platforms has transformed traditional teaching methods. This article examines the impact of AI on English education, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future prospects. Recent studies indicate that AI-enhanced learning environments improve students’ language performance, motivation, and engagement. However, concerns related to academic integrity, overreliance on technology, and digital inequality remain significant. The study concludes that AI should be viewed as a supportive educational tool rather than a replacement for teachers. Effective implementation requires ethical guidelines, teacher training, and balanced use of technology to maximize learning outcomes.
