Abstract

This study examined the teaching of English Language through Artificial intelligence in a globalised world focusing on how AI assisted language learning and teaching across the globe. These areas such as vocabulary, syntax and lexis have been greatly influenced by AI, hence making the learning and teaching of English Language accessible, understandable and simpler. Even though, the English Language has gained wider acceptance and used in virtually all the sectors, yet second language learners still have problems navigating in the areas of forming correct sentences, right spellings and correct usage of words. The study relied on systemic functional linguistic theory by M.A.K Halliday which stated that language is viewed as a source for making not only one meaning at a time but several strands of meaning simultaneously. It is equally excellent in understanding how English is used in context focusing on the function of language to create meaning in social situations. The study would also rely on technological mediation theory by Verbeek which asserted that AI is not just a neutral tool but as an agent that shapes linguistic practices and identities. A descriptive qualitative design was used to examine grammar conformity, lexical choices and syntactic structures. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Findings from the study revealed that wrong syntactic structure, poor lexical choices and inadequate grammar conformity were the problems encountered in the teaching and learning of English Language. The study concluded that teaching and learning of English language through artificial intelligence is crucial because it makes the learning of English easier and simpler for language learners. The following recommendations among others were made which includes that teachers should master the use of proper lexical words, adequate grammar conformity and syntactic structure in to enhance English Language teaching and learning. The study contributed to existing knowledge by providing rich empirical data on the relationship between English Language and artificial intelligence for efficient language teaching and learning.

Abstract

The study examined the difficulties students encountered in pronouncing diphthongs. Specifically, the study highlighted some areas that posed problems for students in articulating diphthong sounds. The study was anchored in language acquisition theory, which posited that learners have acquired a first language and that their L1 might hamper the articulation of sounds, and in error analysis theory, which stated that a learner’s errors reflect their learning process. Here, the errors an L2 learner makes are traceable to either intra-lingual or developmental in nature or inter–lingual (transfer). A descriptive research design was adopted to describe the areas students find difficult when pronouncing diphthongs. Data were collected through structured questionnaires. Data were equally analyzed using mean scores. The study's findings revealed that ignoring glides in pronunciation and overemphasizing the first vowel were among the problematic areas that students couldn’t articulate properly. The study concluded that students should be exposed to continuous drilling to improve their pronunciation skills. This is because a second language learner has not gained veritable knowledge of how these diphthongs are pronounced. It was recommended, amongst others, that teachers attend workshops on the training prevalent in these diphthongs and possibly teach the students more effectively.
