Artificial Intelligence in Mobile Language Learning: Duolingo and the Rise of a New Educational Era

This paper investigates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in mobile applications for language learning, with a particular focus on Duolingo.It analyses how AI enhances personalized learning through adaptive technologies and features such as speech recognition and interactive exercises.Additionally, the paper explores AI's advantages, such as automated grading and reduced administrative tasks for teachers.Special emphasis is placed on how these technologies are transforming the educational process, considering their impact on both teachers and students.The discussion also addresses potential limitations, including concerns over data privacy and the over-reliance on technology in education.The conclusion acknowledges that while AI tools can significantly enhance the learning process, they cannot fully replace the human factor, especially in the domains of emotional intelligence and critical thinking.Ultimately, the paper argues that AI should be seen as a complementary tool rather than a substitute for traditional teaching methods, fostering a more balanced and effective approach to language learning.
