AI AS A VIRTUAL TUTOR: THE IMPACT OF CONVERSATIONAL AGENTS ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education has opened up innovative avenues for language learning, especially in mastering English as a second language. In particular, conversational agents — AI-powered virtual tutors — have emerged as effective tools in this process. These agents simulate human interaction and provide learners with opportunities to practice and improve their language skills outside traditional classroom settings.
