Keywords:

The swift advancement of digital technologies has revolutionized language learning and opened up new avenues for English instruction. A major component of contemporary English language instruction (ELT) is computational linguistics, an interdisciplinary area that blends linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Computational linguistics offers cutting-edge techniques that improve language learning and teaching efficacy through natural language processing (NLP), corpus linguistics, machine translation, speech recognition, and intelligent tutoring systems. Through a survey of recent research and an analysis of its pedagogical applications, this paper explores the role of computational linguistics in English language instruction. The results show that data-driven language training, vocabulary building, pronunciation practice, tailored learning, and instant feedback are all supported by computational linguistics. But issues like technological constraints, teacher readiness, and moral dilemmas still exist. The research finds that computational computational linguistics has become an essential component of contemporary English education and will continue to shape future teaching methodologies.
