Key words: Artificial Intelligence, English Speaking, Language Learning, Pronunciation, Speech Recognition, Personalized Learning, Conversational Bots, Real-time Feedback, Accessibility, Interactive Practice.Abstract
Abstract: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing
various sectors, and education is no exception. Among the most promising areas where
AI is making a significant impact is language learning, especially in developing
English speaking skills. This approach promises efficiency, personalization, and
accessibility that traditional teaching methods often lack. Learning to speak English
fluently is regarded as an essential skill in today’s globalized world. However, learners
face numerous challenges such as a lack of access to proficient native speakers, limited
practice opportunities, traditional teaching methods focusing more on grammar and
writing and less on speaking, fear of making mistakes, and low confidence levels. In
this context, AI is emerging as a powerful facilitator to tackle these obstacles
effectively.
