AI-Assisted Literary Analysis as a Tool for Teaching Reading Skill
Keywords:
Education Landscape, Artificial Intelligence, Eading Comprehension, Language LearningAbstract
With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly integrated into a wide range of sectors, including education. In Uzbekistan, particular emphasis is currently placed on the development of digital education, with innovative technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and various online learning platforms being actively implemented. Despite these advancements, scholarly research examining the application of AI-powered tools in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms remains limited. This gap is especially notable given the growing demand for technology-enhanced language learning and the potential of AI to support personalized instruction, adaptive feedback, and learner autonomy. Therefore, a comprehensive review of AI-driven tools in ESL education is both timely and necessary to better understand their pedagogical value and practical implications within the Uzbek educational context.
