This article describes the opportunities and barriers of integrating Artifical Intelligence (AI) into foreign language learning and teaching. It explores how AI tools such as translation programs, writing checkers, and chatbots can help students to learn in a more personalized and better way. One of the things that it was explained is that many current programs are still simple and can not completely adapt to learners’ needs. So, it also shows two ways that try to make language tasks smarter and more useful. In conclusion, the paper suggests that in the future AI will be a main part of classrooms, however, the demand for teachers will always remain.
