Adaptive learning, AI algorithms, Knowledge assessment, Language tests, Process automationAbstract
This study aims to analyze the potential of using artificial intelligence (AI) for automating assessment and English language teaching, as well as its impact on personalizing the learning process. A systematic literature review was conducted using a targeted search strategy across relevant academic databases, including Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Scopus. As a result of this review, 52 academic papers dedicated to the use of AI for automating assessment and foreign language teaching processes were selected. The findings revealed that AI demonstrates significant potential in personalized learning, skill development, assessment automation, and enhancing teachers' professional development. The possibility of using AI to automate the knowledge assessment process, thereby reducing the workload for educators and increasing the objectivity of evaluation, was explored. The article explores the potential applications of technologies like ChatGPT4 and virtual reality in automating educational processes and assessments, emphasizing their capacity to enhance access to education without limitations of time and space. However, the paper acknowledges the challenges of integrating AI systems into education, encompassing ethical, pedagogical, and technical considerations. Ultimately, the article examines strategies to optimize the benefits of AI in higher education and anticipates the future trajectory of AI development within the educational context.
