TEACHING ENGLISH WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract
English is one of the most used languages for work, commerce, tourism, discourse and worldwide connectivity. However, English learners face numerous hurdles in acquiring English language skills. Existing research shows that AI has the potential to support English language teaching and learning (ELT/L). This study addresses the need to investigate specific problems and opportunities for employing AI in ELT/L. 42 studies were identified using a systematic review process guided by PRISMA principles. The findings reflect the geographical locations of the studies, as well as the ages and years of study. The affordances of using AI in ELT/L were then identified using grounded coding in the domains of speaking, writing, reading, pedagogy, and self-regulation. The problems identified for AI in ELT/L included technical breakdowns, limited skills, fear, and language standardization.
