Abstract

Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are transforming English language learning by offering fast, interactive, and personalized support to learners. These tools provide key benefits such as greater convenience, higher motivation, and faster progress, allowing students to study anytime and at their own pace. However, they also have important limitations, including lack of human interaction, risk of bias, privacy concerns, and the danger of over-reliance.
