THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE FORMATION OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LESSONS

This article discusses the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) in the context of foreign language acquisition. In modern education, communicative competence has become very important because it requires the use of a foreign language for communication. Communicative competence, as an individual's ability to communicate effectively, is of particular importance in modern society. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current application AI in foreign language teaching, examine its impact on developing speaking, writing, listening skills and communicative competences of learners. The findings demonstrate AI's ability to personalize learning experiences, hence increasing learner autonomy and engagement. The first section identifies the theoretical foundations of ICC and explores the potential of AI-driven tools to enhance communicative skills. It outlines the methodological approaches used to analyze AI`S role and highlights its benefits in creating interactive learning process. The second section provides a comparative analysis of traditional and AI-enhances teaching methods, illustrating how AI improves skill acquisition through real-time simulations and adaptive feedback mechanisms. Challenges related to data privacy, algorithmic biases, and access inequalities are also discussed. The paper concludes with recommendations for using artificial intelligence into language teaching while maintaining ethical, inclusive, and sustainable methods. The main goal of the article is to ensure the development of communicative skills and to investigate how these skills can be developed in the educational process using artificial intelligence.
