POSSIBILITIES OF USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

The article is devoted to the research of issues related to the development of artificial intelligence. It is studied the possibilities of information and communication technologies using in general and specifically of artificial intelligence, from the perspective of their suitability for foreign language teaching. Some of the advantages and disadvantages that can be encountered by students in the study of foreign languages are analyzed. The specific areas of work with AI, which can increase the efficiency of foreign languages teaching, are described. It is briefly reviewed and differentiated some digital learning systems as alternative resources for foreign language learning. The author justifies the use of virtual linguistic interaction in the information and educational space: virtual teachers in the e-learning environment, interactive agents (chatbots) in the process of learning foreign languages. Classical pedagogical technologies with the concomitant use of digital intelligence allow for alternative learning models implementation and make the transition from reproductive means of learning to innovative-reflexive ones. Artificial intelligence with a written or verbal interface language should make the work of a teacher more meaningful, taking on the implementation of repetitive tasks. Artificial intelligence is an area of innovative technologies that is currently developing rapidly, which necessitates the development of appropriate legislative support in this area, which is difficult without a correct understanding of the term “artificial intelligence.” The main goal of artificial intelligence research can be considered the development of software products, methods and models that will allow artificial devices to implement purposeful behavior and intelligent thinking.
