Abstract
Artificial Intelligence has emerged and quickly become an important tool for the acquisition and development of the English language. Providing a large number of tools and platforms that improve the teaching and learning process. However, there is still knowledge regarding how long these learnings last and if they can become long-term for learners, as well as the pedagogical implications that these generate when applied in the classroom. The primary objective of this literature review is to examine the impact of Artificial Intelligence on enhancing English language learning. The review synthesizes the findings from multiple studies that assess the efficacy of AI in enhancing listening, speaking, and writing abilities. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive scope, in which six criteria were used to select the papers to be included. The findings of this research demonstrated that certain AI tools, including LyricsTraining and Praktika, have been observed to enhance learners' listening comprehension and speaking skills, while ChatGPT assists learners in crafting organized academic documents. However, the results of the literature review show that Artificial Intelligence must be implemented in the current educational model as an extra tool for the teaching and learning process, rather than its implementation as a primary means of teaching. To mitigate the limitations presented by the use of Artificial Intelligence effectively, a comprehensive educational framework that balances technology with personal instruction must be developed. An educational model that adapts to them must be established.
