The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and speech recognition technologies into language learning has transformed traditional approaches, offering innovative solutions for enhancing pronunciation and conversational skills. These technologies enable real-time feedback, adaptive learning, and personalized practice, allowing learners to engage in authentic communication and correct errors more efficiently. AI-driven platforms facilitate interactive dialogue, pronunciation assessment, and fluency improvement, bridging the gap between classroom instruction and real-life language use. This study explores the effectiveness of AI and speech recognition in foreign language education, highlighting their role in promoting learner autonomy, motivation, and communicative competence. The findings suggest that combining AI tools with pedagogically sound methods significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, oral fluency, and confidence in speaking.
