THE IMPACT OF AI INTEGRATION ON EFL LEARNING OUTCOMES: A HYPOTHETICAL STUDY

Abstract:

This study investigates the hypothetical impact of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The research explores how AI-based platforms—such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Quizlet—enhance learners’ engagement, motivation, and academic performance. The study assumes that regular use of AI-assisted feedback and adaptive learning technologies leads to significant improvements in speaking fluency, writing accuracy, and vocabulary retention. The findings highlight that AI integration supports learner autonomy and provides real-time individualized feedback, thus facilitating a more student-centered learning environment.
