PERSONALIZED LEARNING THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Personalized Learning, English Language Teaching, Adaptive Learning, Educational TechnologyAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming educational systems by enabling personalized learning experiences that address individual learners' needs, preferences, and abilities. In English language education, AI-powered technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning platforms, conversational chatbots, automated writing evaluation, and speech recognition applications provide learners with customized instruction, immediate feedback, and flexible learning opportunities. The findings indicate that AI significantly improves learners' motivation, language proficiency, autonomous learning, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, and writing skills. At the same time, several challenges remain, including ethical concerns, data privacy, digital inequality, teacher preparedness, and algorithmic bias.
