Examining the Transformative Role of Artificial Intelligence in Language Skill Enhancement: A Case Study of BS English Students in Okara, Pakistan

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in a multitude of disciplines, with education being one of the most essential. The goal of this research is to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the acquisition of productive and receptive language skills among BS English students in Okara, Pakistan. The study used a qualitative research methodology, with semi-structured interviews with 150 students enrolled in the BS English program. The findings suggest that AI-based language learning systems improve students’ language abilities by improving their writing, reading, listening, and speaking capabilities. However, flaws were revealed, notably when it came to deciphering complex linguistic aspects that required human judgment and when pupils relied too heavily on AI and ignored their thinking. According to the study, while AI has enormous potential in language acquisition, it should be paired with human-driven educational methodologies for the best results. Teachers and students are urged to adopt AI to improve students' learning opportunities and academic success.
