The development of generative artificial intelligence has changed the ways in which information is produced, accessed, evaluated, and used in learning. These changes have direct implications for language education in primary schools because language competence is now closely intertwined with the ability to read digital information, formulate questions, check the accuracy of answers, and use technology safely and responsibly. This study aims to analyze artificial intelligence-assisted language learning innovations that are relevant to improving students' digital literacy and language competence at SD Negeri 7 Salotungo. The study employed a qualitative approach through an integrative literature review of scholarly articles, reports from international organizations, and education policy documents published during the 2021-2025 period. The analysis was conducted through theme identification, categorization of findings, comparison across sources, and pedagogical synthesis. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence can support reading instruction, vocabulary development, writing, speaking, and language reflection when it is positioned as a supporting tool governed by learning objectives and teacher mediation. Improving digital literacy should not be understood merely as the ability to operate devices; it also includes the ability to formulate information needs, evaluate the credibility of AI outputs, recognize bias and errors, protect privacy, understand authorship, and verify information. Based on this synthesis, the article proposes a six-stage contextual learning model for SD Negeri 7 Salotungo: orientation to learning goals and digital safety, exploration of texts or language problems, guided AI interaction, critical verification, production and revision of language work, and reflection and responsible publication. This model positions teachers as designers, filters, and guarantors of learning quality. Gradual, age-appropriate implementation that remains oriented toward authentic language activities is considered the most promising approach to strengthening language competence while simultaneously developing students' digital literacy.
