Description¶
The review categorizes the AI tools used across the 22 studies into eight functionality-based classes: NLP, chatbots and virtual tutors, gamification, adaptive learning platforms, speech and pronunciation tools, content creation and management tools, AI-powered assessment tools, and VR/AR. It reports that "NLP appears as a popular and e cient AI technology in EFL education, providing tailored, interactive experiences for students," supporting grammar correction, pronunciation feedback, and vocabulary building. The taxonomy organizes which tool types serve which language-learning aspects.
