description This study examines the prospective utilization of artificially intelligent technologies as pedagogical tools within English language classrooms, juxtaposed against conventional instructional methodologies. The discernment of AI tutors and virtual assistants, endowed with advanced natural language processing and machine learning capabilities, evinces promise in furnishing students with personalized and adaptive learning experiences. Nevertheless, the imperative necessity for additional empirical investigations persists to ascertain the efficacious integration of these tools into the fabric of language learning, while concurrently preserving the indispensable role of human instructors. Drawing upon the existing review of literature, this study illuminates the historical underpinnings of technology integration in educational settings and meticulously dissects the merits and demerits inherent in AI vis-à-vis traditional pedagogical approaches. Despite the augmentative potential of AI tutors in fortifying classroom instruction, fostering student confidence and motivation, and mitigating the burdens on educators, their deficiency in socio-emotional intelligence and creative acumen, quintessential attributes of human pedagogies, remains palpable. Consequently, a judiciously balanced approach, harnessing the complementary strengths of both modalities, is proffered, contingent upon contextual exigencies and educational objectives. The discourse culminates by positing the exigency for further investigations into the real-world ramifications of AI implementations and their corollary effects on English language proficiency. Proposing prospective trajectories for subsequent research endeavours in this domain, the article advocates an enriched understanding of the nuanced interplay between AI technologies and conventional pedagogy.
