Integration of Artificial Intelligence Tools to Enhance the Reading Skill in an EMI Context at Tlemcen University

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving reading skills in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) contexts. This experimental research at Aboubakr Belkaid University of Tlemcen found that AI tools enhance grammar and reading comprehension. Such benefits included realtime feedback, student engagement, and customised learning. However, drawbacks included large class sizes, time constraints, and potential overreliance on AI. Careful implementation is needed to address challenges like vocabulary decline and potential overreliance on AI.
