Additionally, the dependability and precision of AI technology may be compromised, resulting in inaccurate feedback and deceptive information.
THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE TEACHING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES
The integration of artificial intelligence technology in foreign language education is becoming increasingly prevalent. Various practical applications include the use of speech recognition technology, which has been proven to enhance students' communication abilities. By providing immediate feedback on pronunciation and intonation, this tool aids in the development of oral expression skills, boosting learners' confidence in conversing with native speakers. Additionally, speech recognition software assists in refining listening and comprehension skills by identifying pronunciation errors and offering correct models for learners to emulate. Furthermore, students can utilize this technology to practice speaking and receive personalized feedback for improvement, fostering a more interactive and immersive language learning experience. Understanding and translating foreign language texts pose significant challenges for language learners. Machine translation technology can assist students in overcoming these obstacles and enhance the efficiency of their language learning process. Firstly, machine translation tools can aid students in comprehending difficult or unfamiliar foreign language texts by providing explanations and translations for complex words or phrases. This allows students to better grasp the content of foreign language articles or recordings, thereby improving their language comprehension skills and facilitating adaptation to the foreign language environment. Additionally, machine translation technology can enhance the speed and quality of translation tasks, enabling students to complete them more quickly and accurately. By saving time and effort on translation, students can focus on learning and consolidating their foreign language knowledge. Moreover, the improved accuracy and quality of translations achieved through machine translation technology can help students master foreign language skills more efficiently, enhancing their ability to communicate and collaborate effectively within the foreign language community. Natural language processing (NLP) technology falls under artificial intelligence and deals with how computers and human languages interact. It finds extensive applications in teaching foreign languages to enhance students' comprehension of the language they are studying. NLP technology offers personalized learning materials by analyzing students' performance across different language aspects, generating tailored materials to address each student's specific learning requirements. For instance, if a student struggles with vocabulary, the software can offer a word list for practice. Moreover, NLP technology facilitates a

more natural approach to learning a foreign language. By examining real language sources like news articles, social media content, and conversational texts, NLP software guides students in using the language in practical scenarios, making the learning process more engaging and relevant. In essence, NLP technology holds significant promise in transforming the landscape of foreign language education. As this technology advances, we anticipate witnessing even more innovative applications that will enhance students' foreign language learning experiences by making them more effective and efficient.
ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY
Chatbot technology represents an innovative and efficient method for enhancing students' proficiency in foreign languages. In stark contrast to conventional language learning approaches that might lack the interactive and adaptable elements required by students, chatbots deliver a tailor-made and interactive learning experience. Through engaging with chatbots, students can practice speaking and listening skills in a natural and conversational manner, akin to interacting with a real individual. Chatbots offer immediate feedback and corrections, which hold significant value for language learners. This feature enables students to receive realtime feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary usage, empowering them to make prompt adjustments to enhance their language skills more effectively and efficiently. Beyond offering practice opportunities, chatbots can also function as a wellspring of language learning resources. For instance, platforms like ChatGPT can furnish learners with instant translations, definitions, and elucidations of intricate grammatical structures. Furthermore, learners can access a plethora of conversational phrases and expressions to augment their communication proficiency in the target language. Chatbots serve as a valuable asset for learners who may lack access to native speakers or language tutors. By engaging with chatbots, learners can still receive conversational practice and feedback, bridging the gap between them and human tutors. Undoubtedly, chatbot technology offers an exciting and promising avenue for enhancing foreign language learning outcomes. With the continuous progression and refinement of technology, we can anticipate chatbots evolving into even more sophisticated and effective tools in aiding learners in reaching their language learning objectives.
DISCUSSION AND RESULTS
In the realm of foreign language education, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has shown promising early outcomes but also confronts certain challenges. The benefits of employing AI technology in foreign language instruction can be delineated into three primary facets:
