Abstract: nbsp; This article examines the applications of artificial intelligence in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and highlights its pedagogical potential in enhancing language learning outcomes. The study explores various AI-based tools, including intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, speech recognition software, and adaptive learning platforms, and analyzes their role in developing learners’ linguistic competence and autonomous learning skills. A qualitative research approach based on a comprehensive review of recent academic literature is employed to identify the benefits and challenges associated with the integration of artificial intelligence in EFL instruction. The findings indicate that AI technologies facilitate personalized learning, provide immediate feedback, and increase learners’ motivation and engagement. Moreover, artificial intelligence supports teachers by automating assessment and enabling data-driven instructional decisions. However, the study also emphasizes the importance of teachers’ digital competence and pedagogical awareness to ensure effective and ethical use of AI in language education. The article concludes that artificial intelligence, when integrated with sound teaching methodologies, can significantly improve the quality and effectiveness of EFL instruction.
