Evaluation of the Effectiveness and Personalization of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Language Teaching. Perspectives and Future Directions

The incursion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the educational field represents a paradigm shift that transcends the boundaries of the conventional classroom, offering a wide range of functions applicable to the teaching-learning process. Despite this, there are still few studies on its application in language teaching and, specifically, on the perception of future teachers. Therefore, we present a qualitative analysis conducted with 53 students from the Degree in English Studies and Double Degree in Primary and English Studies at the University of Malaga, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness and personalization of AI tools in language teaching. The results point to a positive vision about the future of AI, due to its effectiveness and personalization, although with different reservations about its reliability and precision, general content, and the lack of human connection.
