educational technology, personalized learning.
Introduction.
In recent years, the rapid development of digital technologies in the field of
education—particularly artificial intelligence (AI) technologies—has led to significant changes
in the methodology of foreign language teaching. In English language instruction, AI
technologies have become an important tool for creating learner-centered, personalized, and
active learning environments.
Main Types of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Education:
1.
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS):
These systems assess the learner’s knowledge and
recommend appropriate learning materials. For example, the Duolingo platform uses AI
technology to analyze user errors and provide personalized recommendations. Intelligent
Tutoring Systems (ITS) are educational platforms based on AI technologies that analyze a
student’s knowledge level, errors, and learning pace to offer individualized learning paths.
Unlike traditional teaching methods, these systems are capable of creating a flexible, real-time
learning environment tailored to the user.
In evaluating tests, essays, speech, and grammar exercises, AI enables the achievement of
accurate and rapid results. This reduces the time teachers need to spend on grading. Automated
Assessment Systems are software solutions based on artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms that can automatically analyze and assess students’ written responses, tests, or other
assignments. These systems often rely on technologies such as Natural Language Processing
(NLP), data analysis, and other AI tools.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a key field of artificial intelligence that enables
computers to understand, analyze, translate, and respond to human language. In the context of
foreign language learning, particularly English, NLP technologies are widely used to
interactively analyze students’ written and spoken language, provide real-time feedback, and
create communicative learning environments. These tools play a crucial role in understanding
learners’ speech, assessing their writing skills, and facilitating interactive communication. For
example, models like ChatGPT allow students to engage in conversations in English, helping
them improve their speaking proficiency.
Virtual assistants and chatbots powered by artificial intelligence encourage autonomous learning
by providing real-time answers to students' questions and assisting with grammar and vocabulary.

These AI-based software agents are capable of delivering information instantly, responding to
inquiries, and offering personalized recommendations. With their ability to communicate in
natural language, they serve as effective educational and didactic tools in the process of teaching
English.
Artificial intelligence (AI) enables the development of individualized lesson plans, exercises, and
instructional methods tailored to each learner. This approach helps maintain students’ motivation
and enhances the overall effectiveness of the educational process. One of the key advantages of
AI technologies in education is their capacity to create
personalized learning trajectories
,
which are adapted to a learner’s proficiency level, learning style, interests, and academic goals.
What is personalized learning?
Personalized learning is a learner-centered educational process
in which:
learning materials are customized to individual needs;
the pace of knowledge acquisition is considered;
activities are organized around personal interests;
learners are empowered to make autonomous decisions.
AI plays a critical role in organizing this process efficiently by analyzing learner data and
continuously adapting the content and learning strategy.
Advantages of AI technologies in english language education:
In recent years, AI
technologies have brought significant innovation to English language teaching. They help
overcome the limitations of traditional methods by offering interactive, flexible, and highly
effective learning experiences. AI is now recognized as a powerful tool in modern foreign
language instruction.
Research Methodology:
Today’s digital learning environment is increasingly characterized by
the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into educational processes. In particular,
in English language instruction, AI technologies serve multiple purposes such as creating
learning environments tailored to individual student needs, automating assessment processes, and
developing communication-based competencies.
For instance, mobile platforms like Duolingo utilize AI to automatically determine users’
language proficiency levels and offer exercises accordingly. The system analyzes users’ learning
history to build a personalized learning path, gradually increasing the complexity of the didactic
materials.
This methodology allows for:
adaptive content delivery based on learner progress,
formative and summative assessments powered by AI analytics,
interactive, data-driven feedback mechanisms, and
the continuous improvement of learners’ linguistic competence through machine-assisted
instruction.
By employing such AI-powered platforms in this study, the methodology embraces both
qualitative and quantitative data collection approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of
personalized and adaptive English language instruction.
Results and Analysis.
In the development of written speech, platforms such as Grammarly
utilize artificial intelligence to analyze text syntactically, morphologically, and semantically.
These platforms detect spelling, grammatical, and stylistic errors, not only highlighting them but
also providing explanations and offering alternative suggestions. This creates significant
opportunities to enhance students’ writing literacy skills.
Moreover, AI-based dialogue systems such as ChatGPT
,
Replika
,
and ELSA Speak create
interactive learning environments. These tools enable learners to freely communicate in English
with the assistance of artificial intelligence. They are capable of responding in real time,
identifying misunderstandings, and providing necessary clarifications.
The Speak & Improve program (developed by Cambridge English) evaluates students’ speaking
competencies using artificial intelligence. The system automatically analyzes spoken input,

providing feedback on pronunciation, grammatical accuracy, and sentence construction. This
tool is particularly valuable when preparing for international exams such as IELTS.
Additionally, content-based learning platforms like LingQ and Memrise use artificial intelligence
to recommend linguistic resources based on users’ interests and proficiency levels. This method
enhances contextual learning opportunities and creates a foundation for engaging with real-world
language environments.
Automatic translation tools
—such as
Google Translate
,
DeepL
, and similar programs—are
also widely used as supportive instruments in the language learning process. These tools help
learners understand words and phrases in context and see their translations directly in practical
texts.
Assessment systems
, including platforms such as
Edmodo
,
Quizizz
, and
Socrative
, enable
learners to be evaluated through automated quizzes, tests, and interactive exercises. These
platforms leverage AI technologies to analyze results, provide corrections and suggestions, and
outline students’ developmental trajectories.
Conclusion.
Thus, the practical application of AI technologies in English language teaching not
only enhances learning effectiveness but also improves learners’ motivation, independent study
skills, and acquisition speed. In the future, these technologies will continue to evolve in more
advanced forms and become an integral part of English language education.
Artificial intelligence technologies hold great promise in foreign language instruction,
particularly in teaching English. Proper and effective integration of these technologies into the
educational process increases teaching efficiency and addresses the individual needs of learners.
In order to fully benefit from these opportunities, educational institutions need to develop
infrastructure, provide retraining for teachers, and adopt a didactic approach when selecting AI
technologies.
