Description
In an increasingly globalized and digitally connected world, sustaining English language proficiency and fostering lifelong learning have become central goals in language education. However, many learners face significant challenges in maintaining and applying their language skills outside the classroom, particularly when instruction lacks continuity or long-term engagement strategies. This study explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools as a means to support sustainable English language learning and promote lifelong educational engagement. Building on current shifts in educational technology, the research examines how AI tools—such as Gliglish, adaptive learning platforms, intelligent feedback systems, and virtual tutors—can enhance language acquisition, learner autonomy, and motivation. The study identifies key factors influencing sustainable language development and proposes pedagogical strategies for integrating AI into teaching practices. Additionally, it highlights the importance of curriculum innovation and teacher adaptability to maximize the benefits of AI-driven learning environments. By aligning technological advances with educational goals, this research contributes to a more effective, learner-centered approach to English language instruction in the AI era.
