Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly reshaped the landscape of foreign language education, particularly in the development of speaking skills. This article investigates how AI-driven technologies enhance learners’ oral proficiency by providing adaptive, interactive, and data-driven learning environments. It explores the role of speech recognition systems, conversational agents, and intelligent feedback mechanisms in improving pronunciation, fluency, and communicative competence. Furthermore, the paper examines the psychological and pedagogical impact of AI, including reduced speaking anxiety and increased learner autonomy. The study argues that AI not only supplements traditional teaching methods but also introduces a paradigm shift toward personalized and continuous speaking practice.
