Abstract: This paper examines current trends, practical applications, and future directions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT). AI tools—such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, Duolingo, and intelligent tutoring systems—have become increasingly popular in supporting both teachers and learners. The study reviews how AI technologies enhance language learning outcomes by providing real-time feedback, adaptive instruction, and data-driven insights. It also discusses challenges such as teacher preparedness, ethical use, and dependence on technology. The paper concludes that successful AI integration in ELT requires a balanced approach that combines technological innovation with human interaction and pedagogical expertise.
