AI IN EDUCATION: A STUDY WITH REFERENCE TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI), a computer-based simulation of human intelligence intended to act like humans. AI is one of the driving forces behind the 4.0 industrial revolution, making teaching and learning more accessible in universities. Being the primary driving factors behind the 4.0 industrial revolution, artificial intelligence (AI), is opening up education to more students. Artificial intelligence technology provides the chance to enhance English linguistic competence among students. By offering practice exercises and personalized feedback based on individual student needs and learning styles, artificial intelligence (AI) technology holds the prospect of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of language acquisition.AI provides the learner’s a customized environment where students can learn English as per their needs. AI boosts practical abilities like writing using correct grammar and acquiring vocabulary. Additionally, it increases students' practice proficiency in the language while optimizing the impact of English teaching in ELT. As a result, learners may understand English since they have access to a large range of AI-powered ELT applications. Such technologies include Google Translate, Text to Speech (TTS), EnglishAble, Orai, Elsa, Chatbot, Duolingo, Neo platforms, and many others. With the use of tools like ChatGPT or Google’s Bard, genAI is able to produce human-like text with minimal effort on the user’s part. These intelligent machines may simulate intelligence and make judgements in the same way as people by using a technique that is compatible with computers and mobile devices. The paper aims at gaining a deeper understanding of the ways in which AI is being used to enhance the learning of English language, by conducting an in-depth analysis of the existing literature available on this topic. The results of the study show that AI offers an environment that is conducive to learning English.
