Artificial Intelligence (AI) is providing cutting-edge tools that improve teaching and learning, which is drastically changing the educational landscape, especially in secondary schools. AI has the power to increase student engagement, expedite administrative tasks, and customize instruction. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can cater to the specific learning needs of each student, offer prompt feedback, and establish a more engaging learning atmosphere through immersive technologies, adaptive learning platforms, and natural language processing applications. These developments help students as well as teachers by freeing them up to concentrate more on teaching and less on administrative tasks. AI's integration into educational processes offers both exciting prospects and significant concerns that need to be carefully considered as the technology develops.
Teachers have several difficulties when incorporating AI into their lesson plans, even with the technology's apparent benefits. One big problem is that, as AI becomes more and more common, instructors will need to change into new positions that may involve data analysis and emotional intelligence. The labor-intensive nature of AI implementation may limit the amount of one-on-one time teachers can spend with students. Furthermore, data security and the requirement for appropriate training to make successful use of AI give rise to ethical questions. The possibility exists that as AI takes on more responsibility, the conventional functions of educators could be compromised, decreasing their impact in the classroom.
The purpose of this article is to examine the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence (AI) in secondary school. It talks about how AI may help with student engagement, classroom management, and tailored learning. The essay also discusses the difficulties educators have adjusting to AI and how this will affect their positions. The article's discussion of these elements attempts to offer predictions for the future of education and promote cooperation between teachers and AI tools.
Aletras Konstantinos proposed the article "Impacts on Education and Teaching from the Advance of Artificial Intelligence in Secondary Schools" about how artificial intelligence (AI)
reshapes the educational landscape, offering teachers powerful tools to enhance teaching and learning. Adaptive learning platforms with AI capabilities can pinpoint a student's areas of weakness and offer tailored activities to enhance the learning experience. Applications that use natural language processing (NLP) can help students write better by translating texts, summarizing them, and giving them grammar comments. Teaching systems powered by intelligent AI provide individualized instruction and assessment, directing students and guiding teacher interventions. Immersion-based learning is made possible by virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technology, while language barriers are eliminated via real-time translation systems. AI makes it easier to analyze data so that customized learning plans and needs assessments may be made for each student. AI improves classroom administration and expedites the production of instructional materials, freeing up teachers to concentrate on teaching. It improves student-teacher cooperation and lowers instructional errors caused by human mistakes [1, pp.17-18]. On the other hand, artificial intelligence (AI) in education has benefits but also disadvantages for teachers. Teachers may need to shift into new positions as AI becomes more widely used, such as emotional intelligence managers and data analysts. AI implementation in its early stages might be laborious and result in less one-on-one time spent by educators and pupils. As educators work with automated decision-making, ethical questions come up, especially concerning data protection. Teachers may find it challenging to adapt to new technology because they lack the necessary training time and experience. Teachers' conventional roles may be undervalued if AI assumes greater responsibilities in education, which would limit their influence in the classroom. Collaboration between educators and AI is expected to be a feature of education in the future, improving the learning process while preserving the vital human component [1, pp.19-20].
The following paper is "Using Artificial Intelligence as a Digital Tool in Foreign Language Teaching" by Kolegova, I. A., & Levina, I. A. AI may greatly improve the environment in English classes by encouraging participatory and interesting learning activities. To make learning more engaging and dynamic, AI-powered language learning platforms, for instance, frequently incorporate gamified elements like games, quizzes, and interactive exercises. The development of AI systems that enable real-time discussion for language learners is a noteworthy achievement that has revolutionized the provision of high-quality study materials for all language skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing. These platforms can produce customized learning materials that address particular language difficulties and are suited to the needs and objectives of each student. AI also offers students immediate feedback and assistance while they engage with the materials. These systems can provide instant insights into language competence, fluency, and communication methods by assessing student engagement. This allows learners to see areas that require development and make the appropriate adjustments on the spot [2, pp.103-104]. Students can obtain real-time corrections and improvement ideas on language exercises, pronunciation, and grammar thanks to AI's instant response. This function enhances traditional classroom learning and is especially helpful for self-study. AI technology also makes immersive language practice possible through chatbots, language exchange platforms, and virtual reality simulations. These tools help students improve their speaking and listening abilities in interesting and real-world settings. All things considered, AI can improve English teaching and learning by offering individualized training, immediate feedback, and engaging practice opportunities [2, p.107].
It is worth mentioning the work "The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Learning English" which was offered by Taniyeva, A. I. Numerous industries, including education, are being revolutionized by artificial intelligence (AI). AI-powered solutions for language learning provide effective assessment and individualized learning experiences. They can help teachers find pertinent resources, modify lesson plans in response to student performance, and offer immediate feedback. However, there are drawbacks to using AI in language acquisition as well. Lack of human connection is a drawback for many AI language learning programs, especially for students who want specialized instruction. The efficacy of AI systems for less commonly spoken languages or dialects may be limited because they mostly rely on huge datasets to effectively capture linguistic nuances. Furthermore, AI may not be as good as human teachers at identifying and fixing mistakes, and it has
difficulty comprehending and producing creative works. To fully leverage AI in language learning, it is crucial to address these challenges and ensure that AI complements human interaction and expertise. By doing so, we can harness the potential of AI to enhance language learning experiences and make education more accessible and effective [3, pp.205-207]. According to a study done to evaluate the effects of AI chatbots on language acquisition, AI can improve students' speaking abilities, especially their confidence and vocabulary. Nevertheless, more investigation and individual characteristics are required to completely comprehend AI's involvement in language learning. Larger sample sizes, longer AI engagement times, and different assessment techniques might be used in future research. Moreover, investigating how AI might be incorporated with conventional teaching methods could improve the educational setting. Even though artificial intelligence (AI) has many advantages, proper and equitable use of AI in language instruction requires ethical concerns and additional research. It's imperative to address algorithmic bias, data privacy, and accessibility to optimize the advantages of AI tools for all students [3, p.209].
Yusupova Shirinoy presented a study "Advantages of artificial intelligence in teaching English". AI provides individualized English language learning opportunities. AI systems are able to tailor educational content to each student's needs by evaluating their performance and interactions with other students. AI is able to recognize trends in how students learn, foresee obstacles, and give immediate feedback on language assignments. The efficacy of learning is increased by this individualized approach, which keeps students from becoming overwhelmed or disinterested and helps them recognize and fix errors quickly [4, p.469]. Artificial intelligence-driven solutions for pronunciation correction enhance language acquisition by employing speech recognition technology to assess students' pronunciation and furnish prompt feedback. With the use of these tools, students can lessen their accents and increase their clarity by identifying particular phonetic faults and providing targeted practice drills. Pronunciation is a crucial component of language proficiency, and quick progress in it depends on receiving prompt, tailored feedback. AI systems can also identify patterns in learners' language usage, emphasizing frequent grammatical errors or vocabulary shortages. AI can make recommendations for specific exercises and learning modules based on these findings. This guarantees that the teaching of grammar and vocabulary is customized to each student's needs, improving the effectiveness and relevance of the learning process [4, p.470].
The next report is "Analysis of the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Information Courses in Primary and Secondary Schools" by Yu Zhang. Higher-quality information education has resulted from artificial intelligence's (AI) considerable improvement in primary and secondary school teachers' instructional capacities. With the help of AI, educators may customize lesson plans, identify trends in student behavior, and offer individualized support. Learning platforms with AI support facilitate group conversations, promote information exchange, and create a supportive atmosphere for learning. Teachers can determine the learning needs of their students and create more effective information courses by utilizing AI technology. Teachers can customize their lessons to each student by using AI-powered data analysis tools that offer insights into student behavior. Nevertheless, recommendation systems powered by AI direct students to pertinent materials and promote group learning. The way teachers and students are taught could be completely transformed by the use of AI in the classroom. AI can make learning more effective and enjoyable for everyone by promoting cooperation, boosting understanding, and offering individualized support [5, pp.244-245]. AI has various benefits for information classes in elementary and high schools. With the use of AI's realtime feedback, teachers can precisely pinpoint and close student learning gaps. AI also encourages cooperation between researchers, instructors, and students, which results in more focused and effective approaches. AI also automates a number of jobs, which lessens the workload for teachers and promotes student involvement and more individualized instruction. AI integration in information courses increases instructional accuracy, encourages teamwork, and lightens the workload for teachers—all of which contribute to an improved learning environment for both students and teachers [5, pp.247-248].
To conclude, significant prospects to improve teaching and learning are presented by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in secondary education. With adaptive platforms and natural language processing, artificial intelligence (AI) solutions can increase student engagement, expedite administrative operations, and offer individualized learning experiences. Despite this, educators may have to take on new responsibilities involving data analysis and emotional intelligence abilities as a result of this integration, which poses obstacles. The move toward automated decision-making raises ethical questions concerning data security and the requirement for appropriate training, which could lessen the traditional influence of teachers. Collaboration between educators and AI is expected to play a significant role in education in the future, improving student learning while maintaining the vital human element of instruction. To make sure that AI is a helpful tool rather than a replacement for educators, it is imperative to strike a balance between utilizing AI's advantages and preserving the educator's position.
