Abstract

Foreign language acquisition has been a key issue in the field of language education. In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into language learning has brought about a transformative shift in the teaching and acquisition of the English language. This article delves into the tasks associated with implementing these actions and provides recommendations that form the methodological foundation for cultivating linguistic personalities in ELT. The research is dedicated to the analysis of prevalent and frequently employed methods and competency-based approaches to online foreign language instruction, grounded in both national and international experiences, illuminating the progress made in this burgeoning field. This comprehensive review of effective strategies for teaching foreign languages in the context of distance online learning offers valuable insights into contemporary language teaching.
