Abstract
This article considers the problem of using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for teaching a foreign language at a university. AI services designed for teaching foreign languages, as well as AI tools acting as teaching assistants, are considered. The linguistic and didactic capabilities of chatbots are analyzed. The variants of AI-based tasks for the organization of the educational process are presented. In the course of their research, the authors conclude that the use of AI can facilitate the preparation of a foreign language teacher for classes and checking homework, reducing the time to complete routine tasks. Students can use AI tools to practice different language aspects. However, a complete replacement of the AI teacher is not possible, since AI lacks the ability to navigate in the context of learning, empathize with students, motivate them to personal development and encourage critical thinking. Work in the field of AI application in foreign language teaching, in addition to the creation of new AI tools, should be carried out in relation to the development of systems of appropriate tasks, as well as algorithms for interaction between teachers and students with AI.
Keywords: artificial intelligence, higher education, foreign languages, chat GPT, personolized learning.
