THE ROLE OF AI IN TEACHING AND MEASURING ENGLISH

Abstract

               The study of the article titled "The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching and Assessment" aims to explore the potential and roles of AI technology in enhancing English language instruction and the assessment of learners' performance, particularly in the context of digital-age education. The findings reveal that AI plays a significant role in supporting personalized learning through intelligent tutoring systems, natural language processing (NLP), and automated assessment systems. These technologies can tailor learning activities to individual students' abilities, continuously monitor their progress, and provide accurate evaluations. Moreover, AI reduces the workload of teachers in grading, performance analysis, and allows more time for teacher-student interaction. It also promotes access to international learning resources and enhances motivation through interactive and adaptive learning tools. However, challenges remain, including issues of system accuracy, contextual language understanding, cultural sensitivity, privacy, and ethics. Therefore, the use of AI should be integrated with the active role of teachers to ensure effective and sustainable English language learning. The study found that AI possesses high potential in assisting teachers in designing learning activities that emphasize genuine communication and provides opportunities for students to access international learning resources and practice English skills anytime and anywhere.
