IMPLEMENTING AI IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO B2 LEVEL ESP STUDENTS

Abstract

This article explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into English language instruction for students at the B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) within English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts. The growing demand for personalized and domain-specific language instruction in professional and academic settings necessitates innovative pedagogical strategies. AI technologies—ranging from intelligent tutoring systems and natural language processing tools to adaptive learning platforms—offer potential solutions to enhance language acquisition, engagement, and performance. The study provides an in-depth examination of current AI applications in ESP instruction, analyzes their effectiveness for B2-level learners, and discusses implementation strategies, challenges, and ethical concerns. The article concludes by proposing a research-based framework for integrating AI in ESP curriculum design and teacher training, aiming to optimize language outcomes in diverse educational environments.
