Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning is the topic of this article. As AI coexists with technological advancements, this is inevitable. Language learners often use AI to solve problems related to language learning. Learners and learning outcomes are influenced by the use of AI tools. Therefore, the role of AI in language learning is a research question. Using research articles published in journals and/or proceedings conferences about the application of AI in language learning, this study employs a qualitative descriptive technique based on literature evaluation. The application of AI in language learning was identified, categorised, and interpreted as part of a qualitative data analysis process. The findings demonstrate that AI is now widely used in all language learning activities. AI is recognized as beneficial for language learning, both in completing assignments and in understanding exam or quiz questions. However, learners may become dependent on AI, reluctant to work independently, and demanding quick solutions. Furthermore, there is no guarantee of human identity or the privacy of the resulting thoughts. To mitigate the negative impacts of AI, significant consideration must be given to its use.
