Sumario:This article explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) training for adults in business and professional contexts, emphasizing its transformative impact on learning. AI-driven tools leverage neuroscience-backed principles to create personalized, emotionally engaging learning experiences that activate brain areas associated with memory retention and engagement. AI enhances learning outcomes by analyzing individual progress and tailoring content to address specific needs. The article highlights the value of real-time feedback, where AI applications provide instant corrections, track learners’ development, and boost confidence through adaptive learning paths and authentic communication simulations. Ethical considerations, including data privacy and algorithmic biases, are also discussed to ensure inclusive and effective learning environments. The article concludes that AI, when ethically and effectively implemented, enhances language acquisition, empowers professionals, and reshapes the role of educators to prioritize critical thinking, cultural competence, and nuanced communication skills.
