Conceptual Framework for Integrating Artificial Intelligence in English Language Education: Trends, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

AI's incorporation into the teaching of English language is becoming more and more inevitable and is really transforming the education system. The evolving role of AI in the teaching of English has been studied in this paper which examines the current trends, points out the challenges, and outlines the future directions to a potential. AI-based instruments are adjusting the way learning is imparted by educators, as well as, the way students interact with language learning through adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, and natural language processing applications. Yet, the use of AI in classrooms is hindered by many factors such as ethical issues, digital divide, and the necessity of teacher training in AI technologies.  English language education has taken a new and innovative approach to it thus helping to realize better learning outcomes, as well as, accessibility. Through this study, we present a detailed analysis of the trends and challenges in the education sector with respect to Artificial Intelligence (AI). We further propose strategic pathways for organizations and individuals involved in teaching to utilize this technology effectively. In addressing the issues raised in this paper, we aim to contribute to a more inclusive and innovative approach to English language education which eventually will lead to better learning outcomes and greater accessibility.
