Abstract

Lately, it has been reported that modern education involves the application of artificial intelligence. It is the same case with English as a foreign language which is in the broader category of languages. The environment created by such features is quite engaging while appealing to one’s imagination, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration in a very fascinating way. There has been mention of tools of artificial intelligence (AI) in which learners are not defined as creative, nor are they restricted from using their language to express their creativity or enhance their speech. This has provided students with unique materials as well as self-made feedback. Such progress would help artificial intelligence (AI) become a powerful tool in enhancing cognitive and creative aspects in EFL education along with assistance. In other words, this approach furnishing EFL students with different AI enabled resources and including AI tools may enhance creativity of students in EFL classrooms. It also brings together artificial intelligence in creativity enhancement and a checklist based view.The participants include teachers and learners who utilize AI-based instruction, while the instruments employed were checklists, interviews, and classroom observations. The results indicate that there, notwithstanding the fact that AI was said to help increase creativity. So, this was partly due to challenges like lack of technical skills and integration. There are suggestions of more organized training and better assistance for optimal utilization of AI in educational use.
