Review of Artificial Intelligence-Based Tools in EFL Classroom

Abstract

The burgeoning interest in the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education underscores its potential to redefine EFL classroom dynamics. Yet, the comprehensive integration and efficacy of AI tools remain underexplored. This paper systematically analyzes the application and impact of AI-based tools in enhancing EFL writing instruction. This paper outlines the dynamics of EFL classrooms, highlighting the role of technology, video materials, and literature circles in facilitating language acquisition. These elements are pivotal in crafting an interactive and engaging learning environment. Consequently, this paper proposes the following suggestions related to integrating AI in educational settings: First, leveraging AI to enhance teaching practices offers a more personalized educational experience that adapts to the diverse needs of students while adhering to the foundational aspects of traditional pedagogy. Second, incorporating AI tools into course design fosters personalized learning environments, catering to students’ varied preferences and requirements, thereby markedly boosting their engagement and academic achievements. Lastly, it is crucial to prioritize ethical considerations and data privacy in deploying AI technologies, necessitating comprehensive data protection measures and ethical guidelines to oversee AI’s application in educational contexts.
