THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENHANCING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING

Abstract

This article investigates the systemic integration and transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in optimizing English Language Teaching (ELT) and learning within the professional education sector. It examines the operational mechanics of natural language processing architectures, automated writing evaluation frameworks, and advanced speech recognition technologies. The research focuses on how AI-driven adaptive learning models address classroom diversity, mitigate linguistic performance anxiety, and accelerate competency acquisition. Additionally, the paper addresses technical challenges, including algorithmic biases and data security, offering strategic recommendations for a hybrid pedagogical model that harmonizes computational precision with human teacher expertise.
