TRANSFORMING LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS THROUGH AI AND INTERACTIVE PLATFORMS

Abstract

This study explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital interactive platforms in modern English Language Teaching (ELT). As traditional pedagogical models face challenges such as classroom time constraints and diverse learner needs, the integration of adaptive technologies offers a viable solution to personalize instruction. The research focuses on the functional application of tools like Wordwall, Ibrat Academy, Duolingo, and Speechyard to mitigate cognitive overload and communicative anxiety. The methodology involved a multifaceted analysis of these tools within three instructional tiers: gamification, adaptive scaffolding, and authentic immersion. Results indicate a 35-40% increase in student engagement and a significant rise in learner autonomy, with students rectifying nearly 60% of their errors through AI-driven feedback loops. The findings suggest that AI does not replace the educator but rather redefines their role as a strategic facilitator, reclaiming nearly 70% of classroom time for high-level creative and interpersonal tasks. Ultimately, the study concludes that the synergy between technological precision and human pedagogical wisdom is essential for overcoming educational stagnation and fostering a human-centered learning environment.
