Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education has
transformed teaching and learning practices worldwide. In English language education,
AI-powered technologies offer innovative opportunities for improving language
proficiency, learner engagement, and personalized instruction. This paper examines the
role of artificial intelligence in enhancing English language learning among university
students. Drawing upon recent studies and practical applications, the article explores
the benefits, challenges, and pedagogical implications of AI-assisted language
learning. The findings indicate that AI technologies can significantly improve learners’
autonomy, motivation, and language competence when integrated appropriately into
educational settings. However, concerns related to academic integrity, data privacy,
and overreliance on technology require careful consideration. The study concludes that
AI should be viewed as a complementary educational tool rather than a replacement
for teachers.
