Аннотация

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in language education has led to the emergence of adaptive learning systems that personalize instruction based on individual learners' needs. AI-powered chatbots and virtual tutors offer real-time feedback, interactive engagement, and accessibility, making foreign language learning more efficient. This paper explores the advantages and challenges of AI-driven adaptive learning in language acquisition. While AI enhances personalized learning paths, engagement through gamification, and 24/7 accessibility, it also presents limitations such as a lack of human interaction, authenticity issues, and challenges in assessing fluency and creativity. Additionally, ethical concerns arise regarding its integration into formal curricula and its potential over-reliance by learners. The article argues that AI should be viewed as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for human instruction. Future advancements in AI models, incorporating cultural awareness and emotional intelligence, may bridge some of these gaps, making AI-driven language learning even more effective. A balanced approach, where AI supplements rather than replaces traditional teaching, is essential to ensuring comprehensive and meaningful language acquisition.
