Abstract

Professionals are implementing artificial intelligence (AI) technology in different fields owing to its diverse uses and benefits. Similarly, AI professionals are also beginning to implement AI technology in foreign-language education and second-language learning. Therefore, through a systematic literature review, this paper analyzes the role of AI in helping learners of a second language to master pronunciation. A detailed and in-depth search of different well-known databases was conducted, and of 116 articles, only 39 were selected for this paper. AI algorithms can advance language learning and acquisition in almost every dialect and could be significant for different parties in different ways. For example, organizations could utilize AI technology to develop their workers’ knowledge; individual learners could use AI technology to facilitate their studies anywhere and anytime; and traditional learning institutions could incorporate AI-powered methods of language learning to diversify learners’ opportunities. There are many benefits to employing AI in language learning, particularly in second-language learning.
