ABSTRACT

In the context of globalization trends and the strong development of artificial intelligence (A.I.) technology, the application of A.I. in higher education in Vietnam is emerging as a groundbreaking new trend, particularly in teaching, learning, and assessment of foreign languages. It is well known that A.I. can personalize the learning process, optimize teaching quality, and enhance students' learning experience. However, implementing A.I. also faces high costs, complex technical requirements, teacher and student resistance, and security and privacy issues. This research focuses on exploring the role of A.I. in improving the quality of foreign language education, thereby proposing specific A.I. applications. The study includes an analysis of A.I. concepts and components, the history of A.I. development, current A.I. trends in education, and A.I. applications in this field. By analyzing the benefits and challenges, the research also provides solutions to optimize the application of A.I. technology in foreign language education at today's higher education institutions in Vietnam.
