Abstract

With the rapid development of digital technology, traditional English learning methods increasingly face limitations such as insufficient personalized guidance and inefficient feedback mechanisms. This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) tools can optimize the English learning process and enhance learning outcomes.This study employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating a survey of 200 English language learners (aged 18-25) and a 12-week experimental comparison. The experimental phase assesses the performance of learners utilizing AI-driven tools (e.g., intelligent tutoring systems, AI-based language assessment platforms) against a control group employing conventional pedagogical techniques. The research data were derived from questionnaires, learning progress tracking records, and post-experiment language proficiency assessments. The findings indicate that 78% of AI-assisted learning participants demonstrated statistically significant enhancements in vocabulary retention and grammatical precision, with a mean test score 15.3% higher than that of the traditional learning cohort. The research conclusion holds that artificial intelligence technology, through personalized learning paths and real-time feedback, effectively addresses individual differences in English learning and enhances overall learning efficiency.
