SHAPING THE FUTURE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PEDAGOGY

Abstract

Many tools are now available to support language instruction in the digital age. Technology has 
fundamentally altered how we teach and how students learn. Technology use in language 
instruction has become essential if our graduates are to remain effective and competitive in the 
global marketplace. With the use of technology, language instructors may produce dynamic and 
captivating materials that inspire and encourage students to learn. Additionally, it facilitates 
asynchronous lesson delivery, allowing language learners to progress at their own convenience 
and speed and thus improving retention and efficacy. This article provides an overview of some 
of the cutting-edge digital technologies and examines their application in English language 
pedagogy. The article examines intelligent tutoring systems, automated speech recognition, 
English learning speech assistant, chatbots, synthesia, virtual reality, automated writing 
evaluation, and computerized dynamic assessment. The necessity of providing teachers with a 
foundational understanding of AI technologies is one of the recommendations given for their 
implementation, as it will help them to better address the requirements of the global community 
and enhance the effectiveness of their instruction.
