Empowering Educators: The Impact of AI and Digital Tools on English Language Teaching

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies modifies English language education. Therefore, educational methods need innovative development. This research evaluates how AI upgrades educational approaches alongside language abilities and student classroom participation at the university level. The research merges empirical studies about AI-assisted learning through a theoretical literature review (Turner et al., 2018) and a scoping review methodology (Caron et al., 2015) to evaluate such education's effects and implementation barriers. The conceptual analysis (Callahan, 2010) highlights AI’s contributions to digital instruction and competency-based education (Mace & Bacon, 2018). Research shows that AI technology enhances language acquisition but needs human supervision because it encounters specific challenges using automation exclusively. The study recommends adaptable AI systems that enable customized context-based learning initiatives under human monitoring conditions. This research connects AI technology with contemporary educational requirements to expand the discussion about AI systems for creating inclusive language teaching environments.
