CHALLENGES OF AI IN THE CLASSROOM: A CASE STUDY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING FOR STUDENTS IN UNPRIVILEGED AREAS OF PAKISTAN

Abstract

The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education promises to revolutionize teaching and learning, making education more accessible and personalized. However, the implementation of AI in classrooms, especially in underprivileged areas, faces numerous challenges. This paper explores the specific obstacles that students in unprivileged areas of Pakistan encounter when utilizing AI tools for English language learning. By examining issues such as digital divide, infrastructure limitations, lack of teacher training, socio-economic factors, and language barriers, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of how these challenges hinder the effective use of AI in education. The research aims to offer solutions and recommendations to improve the integration of AI technologies in marginalized educational contexts.
