Description
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language education is revolutionizing the field of the teaching and learning of English by providing innovative tools for both teachers and learners. This paper examines the application of AI-powered key phrase extraction as a means to enhance the teaching and learning of writing skills among English language learners. Key phrase extraction, enabled by advanced natural language processing models such as keyBERT, which allows for the automatic identification of essential words and phrases that encapsulate the main ideas of a text. By leveraging these technologies, teachers can help students develop writing skills. In writing instructions, AI-driven key phrase extraction supports learners in summarizing and organizing their ideas, maintaining thematic coherence, and self-assessing the clarity of their arguments. The paper discusses both the theoretical foundations and practical classroom strategies for implementing key phrase extraction. Ethical considerations, such as data privacy and algorithmic bias, are also addressed. AI-driven key phrase extraction offers a promising approach to making language learning more effective, personalized, and engaging in the digital age.
