Keywords:

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly transformed educational systems across the world, especially in language learning. English oral communication skills are considered one of the most important competencies in language acquisition. However, many learners experience difficulties in speaking fluently due to lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, pronunciation problems, and insufficient practice opportunities. This article explores the effective use of artificial intelligence technologies in developing English oral speech. The study highlights the role of AI-powered applications, speech recognition systems, chatbots, virtual tutors, and personalized learning environments in improving learners’ speaking competence. Moreover, the paper discusses the advantages, challenges, and pedagogical implications of integrating AI technologies into English language teaching. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence provides flexible, interactive, and learner-centered opportunities that significantly contribute to the development of oral communication skills.
