Abstract

Introduction: This research analyzes the impact of the use of AI tools in the English language teaching process for high school students at the Cinco de Mayo Educational Unit in the city of Chone. This study arises from the need to understand how artificial intelligence transforms educational practices, especially in the area of English language learning. A mixed methodological approach was used, involving surveys of 150 students and semi-structured interviews with three teachers. Descriptive and correlational analysis identified the influence of artificial intelligence on linguistic aspects, motivation, and student autonomy. The results showed that 90% of students are familiar with these tools and 83% use them through applications such as ChatGPT, Duolingo, and ELSA Speak, with notable improvements in pronunciation, writing, and vocabulary. Teachers recognized their pedagogical potential, as well as the need for teacher training.
