This literature review examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing feedback mechanisms within English language learning, emphasizing the integration of AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and speech recognition to provide real-time, personalized feedback. The purpose of this review is to synthesize existing research findings on the effectiveness of AI-driven feedback in improving language skills such as grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, while also assessing learner engagement and retention rates. A thorough methodology involving a selection of recent peer-reviewed articles, academic databases, and a mixed-methods approach for data synthesis and analysis was employed to ensure comprehensive coverage of the topic. The review highlights that AI feedback often surpasses traditional methods in terms of speed, availability, and personalization. However, it also identifies significant challenges, including issues with accuracy, dependency on extensive datasets, and institutional resistance, which could hinder the broader adoption of AI in educational settings. Also, the paper discusses potential technological improvements, the need for integrative feedback approaches combining human and AI elements, and highlights gaps in current research that offer directions for future inquiry. This comprehensive analysis aims to provide educators, technologists, and policymakers with insights into leveraging AI to foster more effective and engaging language learning experiences.Downloads

- The author(s) make certain that the manuscript meets the terms of the Manuscript Submission Guideline regarding appropriate academic citation and that no copyright infringement occurs;
- The author(s) should inform the editors about any conflicts of interest and report any errors they subsequently, discover in their manuscript.
Duties of Editors and the Editorial Board:
- The editors, together with the editorial board, are responsible for deciding upon the publication or rejection of the submitted manuscripts based only on their originality, significance, and relevance to the domains of the journal;
- The editors evaluate the manuscripts compliance with academic criteria, the domains of the journal and the guidelines;
- The editors must at all times respect the confidentiality of any information pertaining to the submitted manuscripts;
- The editors assign the review of each manuscript to two reviewers chosen according to their domains of expertise. The editors must take into account any conflict of interest reported by the authors and the reviewers.
