SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW (SLR) ON THE INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE TEACHING OF MALAY LANGUAGE LITERACY

This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) focusing on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the teaching and learning of Malay language literacy at the primary school level. The purpose of this study is to identify research trends, potential applications of AI, implementation challenges, and existing research gaps in this field. The literature search was conducted using keywords such as “AI”, “literacy”, “Malay language”, and “education” across databases including Google Scholar and Scopus, covering the period from 2019 to 2024. A total of four key articles were identified and critically analyzed. The findings reveal that AI holds significant potential to enhance literacy through personalized learning and the provision of immediate feedback. However, the implementation of AI remains constrained by challenges such as limited infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, and the lack of a comprehensive Malay language corpus. This article further proposes a qualitative case study design as a foundation for future research. The implications of this study are expected to assist researchers and policymakers in formulating more effective, inclusive, and contextually relevant AI-based literacy education approaches in Malaysia.
