TECHNOLOGY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Abstract
The rapid advancement of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the global educational landscape, particularly in the field of language learning. Digital platforms, adaptive algorithms, and intelligent tutoring systems now provide personalized learning experiences that were previously impossible in traditional classrooms. This article explores the evolution of language learning technologies, the impact of AI-driven personalization, immersive virtual environments, accessibility improvements, and ethical considerations. The study argues that while AI enhances efficiency and engagement, human-centered pedagogy remains essential. A balanced integration of technology and traditional instruction ensures sustainable and effective language education outcomes.
