Doctor of pedagogical Science PhD Assiciato professor UzSWLU U.N.Karimov
Keywords:
artificial intelligence (ai), language learning, foreign language acquisition, speaking skills, ai-powered language learning tools, language proficiency, speech recognition.Abstract
This article explores the significant impact that artificial intelligence (AI) has had on the process of learning foreign languages, with a particular focus on speaking skills. As AI-powered tools and applications advance, they are increasingly shaping the ways in which learners acquire and practice language proficiency. The article examines various AI technologies that facilitate speaking skills, discusses the advantages and challenges associated with these technologies, and considers the future implications of AI for language education.
