AI@School Project: Artificial Intelligence tools to support teaching activities

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English language learning has transformed university education by providing personalized and interactive tools. This study examines the applications, benefits, and challenges of AI in language learning, focusing on adaptive platforms, chatbots, and speech recognition tools. An exploratory survey conducted at the University of Bari highlights the widespread adoption and engagement of students in using AI, although challenges related to accessibility and human interaction remain. The findings suggest that AI enhances language proficiency but requires a balanced integration with traditional methods to ensure an effective and inclusive learning experience.
