THE ROLE OF AI-POWERED TOOLS IN DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS AMONG EFL LEARNERS

Abstract

This study is about how AI tools can help students who learn English as a foreign language to speak better. It talks about things like speech recognition programs, chatbots, and apps for pronunciation, and how they can help learners to be more confident and fluent. We collected information using surveys, interviews and also watching students in class. The results show that AI tools give feedback, make learning more interesting, and let students practice more outside class, which helps them improve speaking. In general, using AI in English classes seems to be useful and can help make learning more modern and effective.
