Abstract

The research aims to identify the pedagogical possibilities of using artificial intelligence (AI)-based assistants in teaching English to undergraduate students majoring in the arts. The paper examines modern approaches to the application of AI assistants in educational practice and their didactic potential for the development of various language skills. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the synthesis and systematization of current Russian and international research results regarding the use of AI assistants in foreign language teaching, as well as in exploring their application specifically within the context of arts education. The article analyzes the pedagogical potential of chatbots, speech recognition systems, generative language models, and intelligent services for the development of foreign language lexical skills. The analysis concludes that the use of AI assistants can facilitate the personalization of learning, increase student motivation, and expand opportunities for language practice.
