THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING: METHODOLOGICAL PEDAGOGY AND PRACTICAL STRATEGIES

Abstract

This study critically evaluates how emerging educational tools, digital environments, and artificial intelligence (AI) systems are reshaping contemporary foreign language instruction. By combining computer-assisted language learning (CALL), mobile applications (MALL), adaptive learning software, and intelligent dialogue agents, modern educators are transitioning from passive instructional models to highly interactive, student-centered methodologies. The paper addresses the conceptual foundations, pedagogical advantages, practical classroom implementations, and potential ethical challenges of tech-driven language instruction. Ultimately, the work offers strategic guidance for language practitioners striving to integrate modern software solution into human-led instruction, demonstrating that optimal learning outcomes rely on pedagogical intent rather than technology alone.
