EXPLORING THE BOUNDARIES OF WHETHER AI CAN REPLACE HUMAN TEACHERS

Аннотация

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances rapidly, its integration into education, particularly in language acquisition, has ignited a controversial debate regarding the role of human educators. This article examines the current capabilities of AI, its pedagogical limitations, and the essential human elements of language instruction to assess the degree to which AI can replace language educators. AI technologies can help you learn more about yourself and offer you feedback right away, but they don't have the emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, or flexibility needed for full language learning. This paper argues, through a critical examination of recent research and expert opinions, that AI should be viewed not as a replacement, but as an auxiliary tool that augments the capacities of educators and students in increasingly digital learning contexts.
