Introduction

The advancement of technology has simplified the process of teaching and learning. The buzzword “Artificial Intelligence” is revolutionizing every single field. AI “offers novel learning opportunities for students” (Pratma,16). Especially, it is a boon to the teaching community. AI not only lessens the workload of teachers but adds precision to their teaching. Wise application of AI tools will be highly beneficial and time saving to the language teachers.

An AI tool is a software application that performs specific tasks. These tools are designed to emulate human intelligence with which language teachers can teach LSRW skills accurately to the students. Teachers can create their own content or borrow ideas from free and authentic platforms. All the technology enabled activities will help learners grasp the content in no time. Initially, teachers have to design the learning material that might take time. But once they create, they can keep editing their own content to cater to the standard of students.

AI Tools for Reading

AI provides learners with several tools that assist them in learning and developing their English language and comprehension skills. It identifies the reading habits, strengths, and weaknesses of the learners. It helps them learn English at their own pace. Besides, it gives instant feedback and spots the areas where learners struggle to understand the concepts. Integrating AI into language learning atmosphere “can help address the diverse needs and challenges faced by English language learners, including limited access to native speakers, lack of immediate feedback, and individualized attention.” (Rusmiyanto, 751)
