Abstract

In the current context of globalization, proficiency in English has become an indispensable skill for academic and professional success. Aware of the challenges in acquiring a new language, Istinye University has adopted innovative approaches to improve English learning. This article focuses on the implementation of review sessions for English students, using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and MagicSchool during the 2023/2024 academic year. Adequate preparation for level exams, aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, is essential to ensure the acquisition of linguistic competencies. AI tools allow for personalized learning, facilitating the design of materials tailored to levels A2, B1, and B2. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of learning but also fosters student autonomy and engagement. The use of AI offers benefits to teachers, such as reducing administrative burdens and the ability to provide immediate feedback. However, the adoption of these technologies also presents challenges, such as the need for proper training for educators. The findings suggest that artificial intelligence can transform language teaching, improving the learning experience. Recommendations for future research are proposed, emphasizing the importance of exploring both the benefits and limitations of using AI in educational settings. This study opens new perspectives for English teaching, highlighting the relevance of combining traditional methods with advanced technological tools.
