Abstract

The digital age has significantly transformed education, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) playing a crucial role, particularly in English language teaching and learning. This article examines AI's impact, highlighting its benefits for students and teachers. AI-powered platforms provide personalized learning by tailoring lessons based on individual student data, enhancing learning experiences and confidence. Tools like virtual assistants and chatbots improve communication skills and critical thinking. AI also offers access to up-to-date language resources, aiding reading and listening skills. For teachers, AI automates administrative tasks, allowing more focus on personalized instruction. The article emphasizes that AI should complement, not replace, human educators, as human interaction and empathy remain essential. AI has the potential to revolutionize English language instruction, making it more engaging, efficient, and effective for both learners and educators.
