AI-POWERED LANGUAGE LEARNING: BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES IN MODERN CLASSROOMS

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming foreign language education through personalized learning, automated feedback, and adaptive assessments. This study evaluates the effectiveness of AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT and speech recognition tools in enhancing language proficiency. Data collected from 150 students and 20 instructors reveal that AI facilitates real-time practice and individualized instruction but raises concerns about over-reliance on technology. The paper discusses pedagogical implications and suggests balanced integration strategies for educators.
