Harnessing AI Tools in Teaching English: Innovations and Implications
Abstract
The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has promoted transformative opportunities in language learning. This article explores the integration of AI tools in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL). It focuses on their potential to enhance language acquisition, personalise learning experiences, and address challenges in traditional pedagogical methods. It also evaluates the implications of AI for educators and learners, emphasising ethical considerations and the need for a balanced approach. In this case, the main purpose of using AI in teaching is to support students in the learning process and ensure productivity in language mastery.
