Artificial intelligence in english language teaching: opportunities and ethical challenges

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in English Language Teaching (ELT) to support personalized learning, automated feedback, and learner engagement. AI tools such as chatbots, speech recognition systems, and automated writing evaluation platforms help develop vocabulary, pronunciation, and writing skills. However, the use of AI in ELT also raises ethical concerns, including data privacy and reduced human interaction. This article explores the opportunities and ethical challenges of AI integration in ELT and emphasizes the importance of responsible and teacher-guided implementation.
