Abstract

The article deals with the issue of artificial intelligence that should be integrated with traditional foreign language teaching methods to create a balanced and effective approach. When artificial intelligence is fully integrated into the educational process, learning tasks will reach a new level. Feedback, personalizing learning, adapting to everyone’s needs will have a significant impact on learners. Special attention is paid to the benefits of implementing artificial intelligence in learning and also the methodological and didactic potential of chatbots. Currently, higher education institutions use artificial intelligence technologies in the process of teaching foreign languages. The author emphasizes that different artificial intelligence tools allow to personalise learning and provide an individual approach taking into account the developmental characteristics and needs of each participant of the learning process in higher education; to provide instant feedback, which motivates students and educators for further learning in cooperation, helps to see both development prospects and limitations, to adjust the learning trajectory in a very short time; to motivate students to learn a foreign language through a high degree of interactivity and accessibility.
