Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms English Language Teaching (ELT) for engineering students by providing targeted, technical, and personalized language acquisition tools.
Key Applications in Engineering ELT
Technical Vocabulary & Reading: Platforms analyze complex research papers and manuals, offering real-time vocabulary breakdown and context-specific translations.Pronunciation & Speaking Practice: Tools like ELSA Speak or speech recognition features help engineering students practice technical presentations and reduce public-speaking anxiety.Writing & Documentation Support: AI grammar checkers and paraphrasing assistants like Grammarly and QuillBot refine technical reports, project documentation, and research drafting.Conversational Simulations: Chatbots (such as ChatGPT or TalkPal) simulate professional interactions like client pitches, team meetings, and job interviews.
