The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) On Students’ English Speaking Skill In Language Learning

The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has raised significant questions about its pedagogical value, especially in language learning. This research investigated the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on students' English speaking skill within the context of language learning. As AI tools become increasingly integrated into educational settings, they offer unique opportunities for enhancing speaking skills through immediate feedback, personalized learning experiences, and increased engagement. This research identified both the benefits and challenges associated with the AI usage, including the risk of over-reliance on technology, potential inaccuracies in AI-generated suggestions, and the digital divide that may affect access to these resources. Furthermore, the research explored how the integration of AI alters teaching practices and the role of educators in fostering speaking skill. The findings highlight the need for a balanced approach that combines AI tools with traditional instructional methods to optimize student learning outcomes.
