Abstract
The rapid growth of digital technologies is transforming foreign language education and increasing the demand for effective ways to develop communicative skills. Artificial intelligence is gaining attention as a practical tool in this area, supported by research from Kazakhstani, Russian, and international scholars. Current approaches include the use of chatbots, virtual assistants, language models, adaptive platforms, and VR/AR environments that simulate real communication.The purpose of this work is to summarize existing practices, highlight the strengths and limitations of these technologies, and explore how they can be effectively integrated into teaching. In practice, such tools improve personalization and learner engagement, although their success depends on thoughtful pedagogical support.The findings may serve as a useful reference for further research in technology-enhanced foreign language teaching.
