Artificial Intelligence, from its birth, has facilitated educational applications to form an
unbreakable bond, bringing new technology and new tools for the development of education,
which has gradually attracted greater attention from the education and academic circles at
home and abroad. The application of Artificial Intelligence in English teaching can play a good
role in assisting teaching. In order to study the current status of domestic and international
research on artificial intelligence in the field of English teaching and to grasp the research trend,
this study uses CiteSpace visual analysis software to analysed the institutions, the countries or
regions engaged in the research, the change in the number of articles issued, and the keywords.
The results of the study show that the application of artificial intelligence in English language
teaching has received more and more attention in recent years, with the United States, China
and the United Kingdom leading the majority of research in this area, and the direction of the
research is mostly based on online teaching, artificial intelligence technology, learning
analytics, and the English language. In future research, communication and exchange between
countries and institutions should be strengthened to jointly promote the application of AI in
English language teaching. [3] This research aim is to analyze an artificial intelligence platform
that can be used in imparting education as well as evaluating student performance. This
research was conducted with a qualitative method by conducting in-depth interviews and a
literature study. The findings of this study show that Artificial Intelligence technology can be
used as a means of developing English learning for students. There have been several studies
that support research results, that AI can be used to improve students' English skills through
applications, websites, Virtual Reality technology, and other AI-based learning and teaching
systems. Limitation: The limitation of this research is that it does not examine how far the role
of AI in students' English learning is. Further research, is expected to test how far the role of AI
is to improve students' English skills, especially Universitas Airlangga students. [4] In this
artificial intelligence-based English writing blended teaching model is in the stage of research
and innovation, this article uses a university English major as the experimental object and
launched a 19-week teaching experiment. The combination of advantages improves the
traditional English writing teaching mode and establishes an artificial intelligence English
writing mixed teaching mode. The results of the study show that this model can improve
students' English writing level while improving students' English writing level, and can also
increase students' interest in English writing. [5] The goal of this study is to examine an artificial

intelligence platform that may be utilized for assessing student performance and delivering
education. By conducting in-depth interviews and completing a literature review, this research
was carried out using a qualitative methodology. The results of this study demonstrate that
artificial intelligence technology can be applied to enhance students' English learning. Studies
have shown that using apps, websites, and virtual reality technologies. [6]
Two intact classes, consisting of a total of 60 university students, participated in this study. The
experimental group received AI-mediated instruction, while the control group received
traditional language instruction. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to evaluate English
learning achievement across various domains, including grammar, vocabulary, reading
comprehension, and writing skills. Additionally, self-report questionnaires were employed to
assess L2 motivation and self-regulated learning. Quantitative analysis revealed that the
experimental group achieved significantly higher English learning outcomes in all assessed
areas compared to the control group. Furthermore, they exhibited greater L2 motivation and
more extensive utilization of self-regulated learning strategies. These results suggest that AI- mediated instruction positively impacts English learning achievement, L2 motivation, and self- regulated learning. Qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 14 students from
the experimental group shed light on the transformative effects of the AI platform. It was found
to enhance engagement and offer personalized learning experiences, ultimately boosting
motivation and fostering self-regulated learning. These findings emphasize the potential of AI- mediated language instruction to improve language learning outcomes, motivate learners, and
promote autonomy. This study contributes to evidence-based language pedagogy, offering
valuable insights to educators and researchers interested in incorporating AI-powered
platforms into language classrooms. The results support the notion that AI-mediated language
instruction holds promise in revolutionizing language learning, and it highlights the positive
impact of AI-driven educational technologies in the realm of language education. [7]
Technology and artificial intelligence (AI) advancements are increasingly impacting second
language (L2) learning, particularly in writing skills development. Motivated students seeking
writing feedback can benefit from AI implementation, with writing feedback literacy being
crucial for effective use. Engaged students with specific writing goals benefit from ongoing
practice and learning to attain high-quality outcomes, whether from formal or informal settings
such as AI applications. AI’s integration into L2 education underscores the need to comprehend
its role in improving L2 writing engagement, writing feedback literacy, and writing outcomesre.
A mixed-method study was conducted, which involved 46 students at the upper-intermediate
level. The student cohort was divided into two groups for the purpose of the study. One group
was designated the control group, while the other was the experimental group, each comprising
23 students. By using Wordtune, an AI-based application, the experimental group was able to
significantly improve their writing outcomes, engagement, and feedback literacy when
compared to the control group. Furthermore, the Wordtune application received positive
feedback from students interviewed about its ability to improve their writing outcomes,
engagement, and feedback literacy. These findings will contribute to our understanding of AI in
L2 learning and inform instructional considerations for Wordtune’s application. [8]
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has the potential to revolutionize the
learning experience for students. This abstract provides an overview of the impact of AI on
students' learning experience, highlighting its benefits and potential challenges. AI technologies
