ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AS A LANGUAGE LEARNING METHOD FOR SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in language learning has revolutionized the way second language (L2) learners acquire new languages. This research explores the effectiveness of AI-driven tools, such as language learning apps, chatbots, and speech recognition systems, in enhancing language proficiency among L2 learners. The study examines the advantages of AI tools, including personalized learning, instant feedback, and accessibility, while also addressing potential challenges such as over-reliance on technology and lack of human interaction. Data collected from surveys and experiments with L2 learners indicate that AI tools significantly improve vocabulary retention, pronunciation, and conversational skills. The findings suggest that AI can complement traditional language learning methods, offering a flexible and engaging approach for learners worldwide.
