The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Language Learning: Enhancing Communities of Practice Among Algerian University Students

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and virtual communities of practice on enhancing language learning among university students, focusing on the development of grammar and communication skills, as well as fostering collaboration and cultural exchange. The study adopted a survey-based methodology, utilizing a structured questionnaire and advanced statistical techniques for data analysis. It targeted a diverse sample of 550 students from various academic disciplines to ensure a comprehensive and representative dataset. The findings indicate that AI tools and virtual communities significantly contribute to language learning by offering interactive and personalized educational experiences. However, these technologies face challenges such as weak digital infrastructure and limited technical skills among students, highlighting the need for investments in improving infrastructure and offering comprehensive training programs for students and educators. The study recommends integrating these technologies with traditional methods to enhance language learning experiences and make them more inclusive and interactive.
