THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND CHATBOTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING
Ruzmetova Mamlakat Azadovna, , Senior Lecturer of Chirchik Branch of Mukhtar Auezov University of South KazakhstanAbstract
The advancement of technology has led to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and chatbots in English Language Teaching (ELT), significantly transforming the landscape of education. This paper explores the influence of AI and chatbots on language learning, focusing on their role in enhancing educational experiences, promoting personalized learning, and increasing student engagement. Through AI-driven applications, students are able to receive tailored feedback, engage in real-time conversation practice, and access a variety of learning resources. Additionally, the paper addresses the challenges faced by educators and learners in the adoption of AI and chatbot technologies and examines the future potential of these tools in revolutionizing ELT methodologies.
