AI-Driven Pedagogical Innovation in EFL Learning

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an important technological development in modern education. In recent years, AI-based tools have increasingly been used to support teaching and learning processes. In the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), AI technologies provide new opportunities to improve language learning through personalized instruction, automated feedback, and interactive learning environments. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of AI-driven pedagogical innovation in enhancing EFL learning outcomes. The study uses a qualitative research approach based on the analysis of existing literature and educational practices. The findings suggest that AI tools such as intelligent tutoring systems, speech recognition software, and automated writing feedback systems can improve students’ language skills, engagement, and motivation. However, effective integration of AI requires teacher training, ethical consideration, and proper technological support. The study concludes that AI has the potential to transform language teaching and learning when used as a supportive pedagogical tool.
