THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

This article examines the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English language learning and teaching. It analyzes the opportunities provided by AI-powered technologies, including personalized learning, automated feedback, improved language practice, and enhanced learner motivation. The study also discusses challenges such as academic integrity concerns, data privacy issues, digital inequality, and overreliance on technology. The article argues that AI should be integrated responsibly and used as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, human instruction.
