Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) translation tools in educational settings is progressing rapidly; however, their effectiveness in English literacy learning necessitates a more in-depth examination. This study explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI)-based translation tools in enhancing English literacy at the junior high school level. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review method, the research examines three key aspects: the impact of AI technology on students' literacy skills, opportunities arising from its application, and challenges in its implementation within the educational context. Findings indicate that AI Translation tools significantly improve time efficiency, vocabulary comprehension, and independent learning. Additionally, these tools enhance student motivation and text analysis skills. However, the study also identifies limitations, including students' reliance on translation results without critical analysis, technical barriers related to device access, and AI tools' inability to capture cultural nuances. The findings highlight the need for intensive teacher training to effectively utilize AI technology and the development of culturally adaptive AI tools. This study contributes to both theoretical and practical understandings of AI integration in education while opening avenues for further research on communication skills and cross-cultural understanding.
