A large number of industries, including education, are being revolutionized by artificial intelligence (AI) and this trend is only going to become more popular and widespread with time. The use of AI applications for English Language Teaching (ELT) in higher education in the Arab World is examined in this chapter as well as its potential for enhancing the teaching and learning experience. This will be done by presenting an overview, starting by defining AI, its components, and its potential importance as a teaching tool. The chapter also highlights the current role of AI in ELT and describes future teaching approaches. Therefore, the application of AI tools, as an instructive guide, will be discussed by giving examples of AI-based language learning platforms that adopt intelligent tutoring systems, such as chatbots, virtual reality and augmented reality, and their role in ELT. Thus, Natural Language Processing (NLP), an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science and linguistics, will be discussed to shed light on machine learning applications like Grammarly, Duolingo, and Google Translate which are AI-driven technologies that can assist students in language learning and teaching. Moreover, the chapter explores the benefits of AI in aspects of teaching such as personalized learning, unlimited practice, performance and progress detection, language teaching enhancement and intercultural communicative competence. However, there are some limitations of using AI in teaching represented by ethical issues such as bias, detecting responsibility for inaccurate information, students’ privacy, and legal issues. Finally, the chapter concludes with some recommended actions for adopting AI to reshape the future of ELT.
