THE ROLE OF AI IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF READING SKILLS

Аннотация

This study investigates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing reading skills among language learners. As AI technologies become increasingly integrated into educational practices, their potential to support reading development in English as a Second Language (ESL) contexts is of significant interest. Using a quasi-experimental research design, this study examines the impact of AI-based tools, such as personalized learning platforms and text-to-speech software, onthereading abilities of100ESL learners. . Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Duolingo, ChatGPT, reading comprehension, Individualized Learning methods Аннотация.Данное исследование рассматривает роль искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) в повышении навыков чтения у изучающих иностранные языки. По мере того как технологии ИИ всё активнее интегрируются в образовательные практики, особый интерес представляет их потенциал в поддержке развития навыков чтения в контексте изучения английского как второго языка (ESL). Используя квазиэкспериментальный исследовательский дизайн, в данной работе анализируется влияние ИИ-инструментов, таких как персонализированные обучающие платформы и программы синтеза речи, на навыкичтенияу100учащихся ESL.

Ushbu tadqiqot sun’iy intellekt (SI) texnologiyalarining til o‘rganuvchilarida o‘qish ko‘nikmalarini rivojlantirishdagi rolini o‘rganadi. SI texnologiyalari ta’lim amaliyotiga tobora kengroq integratsiyalashayotgani sababli, ularning ingliz tilini ikkinchi til sifatida (ESL) o‘rganish kontekstida o‘qish rivojlanishini qo‘llab-quvvatlash imkoniyatlari katta qiziqish uyg‘otmoqda. Kvasieksperimental tadqiqot dizayni asosida olib borilgan ushbu ishda SI asosidagi vositalar – shaxsiylashtirilgan o‘quv platformalari va matndan nutqqa dasturlari – ning100nafar ESL o‘rganuvchining o‘qishqobiliyatlariga ta’siri tahlilqilinadi.

Student success in academics depends heavily on reading proficiency because it allows information reception while helping students achieve better psychological development. Reading comprehension challenges school children through their limited vocabulary understanding along with their lack of effective reading skills and insufficient one-on-one help with insufficient reading material. The traditional teaching methods lead to acceptable results although they lack the required capabilities to adapt instruction to various learner needs in today's contemporary classrooms. The advanced tools generated by Artificial Intelligence resolve multiple education barriers that currently exist. Concept-based reading sessions emerge through AI analytics that tracks student motions as these systems detect learning barriers allowing prompt content adjustments. The language processing technology integrated into programs such as Duolingo with ChatGPT and tutoring systems enables students to improve vocabulary understanding through automatic feedback as they gain skills by using game-type motivators. The digital tools let teachers adjust reading assignments with educational materials by considering how their students perform academically whilerespecting theirdistinct interests. Recent scientific evidence demonstrates that AI technology improves basic reading ability and also aids critical problem evaluation among students. AI technology enables interactive learning which generates increased motivation and autism among students thus fueling essential aspects ofreading development. More research must be done to identify the impact of AI language education tools on reading performance because of their increasing popularity. The research investigates the impact of AI tools on reading outcomes through evaluation of their effects on understanding, student involvement and program success. Educational staff members and students are studied in this research about AI-based reading assistance tools withinacademicsettings. METHODS This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of how AI impacts reading skill development. The quantitative elements tracked reading comprehension improvements yet the qualitative part examined both student and teacher responses to AI reading instrument usage. Sixty secondary school students between 14 to 18 years old from urban areas participated in this research because
