This article explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in English language education, focusing on their potential to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. The study reviews popular AI-powered applications and platforms used by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers and learners, such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and speech recognition tools. While AI offers increased personalization, immediate feedback, and learner autonomy, challenges such as technological limitations, lack of teacher training, and ethical concerns remain. The article concludes with recommendations for effective AI integration in English language instruction in developing contexts like Uzbekistan.
