ENHANCING EFL EDUCATION THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INNOVATIONS

In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational contexts has redefined the dynamics of classroom instruction, particularly in language learning. As digital tools increasingly permeate the realm of listening comprehension, researchers and educators have turned their attention not only to cognitive learning outcomes but also to affective variables such as stress, confidence, and enjoyment. These emotional reactions have been shown to significantly influence learner motivation, engagement, and ultimately, achievement (Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2014; Krashen, 1985).
