AI-POWERED ADAPTIVE LEARNING SYSTEMS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEADING PLATFORMS
Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of leading AI-powered adaptive learning platforms utilized in English language teaching. The research examines five prominent platforms—Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu, Rosetta Stone, and Mondly—evaluating their adaptive learning mechanisms, pedagogical approaches, and effectiveness in language acquisition. Through a systematic review of empirical studies, user engagement metrics, and pedagogical frameworks, this analysis reveals significant variations in how these platforms implement artificial intelligence to personalize learning experiences.
