THE ROLES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AI IN TEACHING FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: THE PROSPECT AND CHALLENGES.

ABSTRACT

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the teaching of French as a Foreign Language has significantly transformed language education by enhancing instructional delivery and learner engagements. AI-powered tools such as intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, speech recognition software, and adaptive learning platforms offer personalized learning experiences, real-time feedback, and increased opportunities for autonomous practice. These innovations support the development of key language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing, while addressing individual learner needs and pacing. Despite these prospects, the application of AI in teaching French presents notable challenges, including issues related to data privacy, unequal access to technology, limited teacher preparedness, and the risk of over-reliance on automated systems. Additionally, concerns about the accuracy and cultural appropriateness of AI-generated content may affect language authenticity. This paper also examines both the potential benefits and the challenges of AI integration in teaching french, emphasizing the need for a balanced, ethical, and pedagogically sound approach. The study then concludes that artificial intelligence has significantly reshaped the teaching of French as a Foreign Language by promoting personalized learning, interactive instruction, and immediate feedback. One of the recommendations was that AI tools should be integrated as supportive instructional aids rather than replacements for teachers.
