The devices are used in diverse areas like healthcare, automatic vehicles, and complex decision-making and at the same used in educational institutes. Researchers are endeavoring to come up with solutions that deal with modern-day issues. Lee and Kim [1] have proposed a study for the impact of 5G in university education based on specific parameters like learning space, content and time, etc. The experiments were performed on 102 students, and they ranked every parameter according to their opinion and use. About 86% of them were in favor of using 5G in education. The students want to study by the use of intelligent devices and valuable materials. They do not wish to be bound by the constraints like time and place. Therefore, it is required to speed up the use of 5G in university education to improve it and make it available at a low cost. Al-Maroof et al. [2] have proposed a study on various factors directly related to the use of 5G in the Gulf area. The findings show that with cheapness, faster speed, and high quality, Internet usage can be increased by 5G. It can be used in education for the purposes like e-learning and content sharing by teachers and students faster and efficiently. The acceptance rate of 5G is very high due to faster speed and rapid data broadcast. Its easiness of use and effectiveness can bring very positive change in the daily life human race. Lei [3] has proposed an optimization strategy to overcome the difficulties and hardships in college English learning in China. With 5G and AI, the English classrooms are now intelligent and efficient for learning college English. With the teaching methods of AI and 5G integration, it will be made possible that the students will be provided knowledge according to their level and skills. The strategy will improve the reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills and abilities of students.Gao [4] has proposed a study in the era of 5G to find out the applications of modern technology in English major in one of the universities of China. Due to the faster transfer rate and numerous valuable online resources, it is very beneficial in teaching English to help students find appropriate content easily and without any constraints. Most universities provide online courses, and the students can select from them according to their requirements. The usage of 5G in the development of education will be a milestone in human history. Islam and Hasan [5] have presented a study to explore the effectiveness of mobile-assisted language learning in listening skills for both teachers and students and to find out the enhancement due to the use of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in language learning. The use of mobile in teaching and learning English is widespread in our daily lives. The findings show that it is very effective and efficient to use mobile-assisted language learning in learning English. MALL has enabled the students to get e-materials and different available applications to improve their grammar and expressions. As a result, they are speeding up the process of learning English.Samigulina and Shayakhmetova [6] have proposed a study to develop an intelligent system based on deep learning for visually impaired people to get benefits from distance education. The system can process data from diverse dimensions, understanding the perception and consciousness knowledge evidence of visually impaired persons. The vital module of the intelligent system consists of statistics, intelligence, knowledge, and controller block. The materials are provided based on a questionnaire analyzed with the help of fuzzy logic. With the proposed model, the VIP can exploit the educational assets in a very effective way. Chung and Kim [7] have presented a survey to show the opinion and user’s acceptance of artificial intelligence as a lecturer in university class by young adults. For the collection of data to be examined, interviews and questionnaires were used. It was predicted that some adult students were in favor of AI-based lecturers in e-learning. In the opinion of some students, it is good to use AI lecturers in class, but they should be managed directly by a human. The fact was found that there is no relation between loneliness and artificial intelligence of the students. Some views show that a good and positive relationship is also probable with the intelligent-based lecturer. Obari and Lambacher [8] have proposed a study to examine the effect of Google Home Mini and Amazon Alexa grounded on artificial intelligence on the English improvement and learning skills of a private university in Japan. Tests were taken before and after the training of the concerned groups. The results show that a mixture of AI with blended learning has a positive and impressive effect on teaching a student’s English language. With the help of this integration, the speaking and listening skills of the students were also improved.

The findings show that the appropriate responses were amplified by 14 percent, while the linguistic mistakes were lessened by three percent. The overall learning proficiency was sped up by 11 percent. The speaking period was reduced by 16 percent [9]. Keerthiwansha [10] has focused on employing artificial intelligence-assisted systems in English as a second language (ESL) in Sri Lanka. The system is capable of increasing the effectiveness and productivity of ESL classes. Due to the individualized learning path and no constraints of space and time, the proposed architecture provides a peaceful and fruitful environment. The students who missed the lesson in class will be able to attend it at home. Due to low documentation work, all the energy will be used in teaching and learning procedures. At the back of the system, there is a controller to manage all the activities of artificial intelligence education (AIEd). Zhu [11] has proposed a study to develop and improve intelligence-based English classrooms to decrease the burden and increase the productivity of English teaching and learning. By using the interface of the proposed system, the teacher can arrange video classes and assess the students with the help of data technology. To check their skills and knowledge, the students can solve exercises and check their learning levels. With the development of AI-based applications, we can lead the English learning process in a positive direction. Adamopoulou and Moussiades [12] have proposed a study on the applications and improvement of chatbots and the technology used to improve performance and make it bright. In the field of education, they have surpassed the teachers and are available to students. The vital role of chatbots in the view of users is productivity, along with social interaction and innovations. The users can experience an amicable and fruitful environment while communicating with the chatbots. The English learners can now communicate with chatbots and improve their speaking and listening skills and knowledge.Okonkwo and Ade-Ibijola [13] have proposed a review based on previous approaches to using chatbots in education. It was predicted that they could be used for different purposes in education like teaching, learning, and administration. For teaching purposes, it can be used to teach online courses to students, while as an administrative component, it can be used to reply to students’ queries related to the study. The use of chatbots can achieve the productivity of education and convincing of students. With the help of AI-based intelligent systems, many students can be dealt with from various locations. Al-Mohammadi et al. [14] have proposed a survey for the use of AI-based intelligent systems in e-learning for adaptive educational atmosphere and different techniques used to make the e-learning process more intelligent. For a productive adaptive atmosphere, the use of AI-based technology is essential. They have the capability to replicate human decision and cognitive skills; they can grip any unwanted situation and improve the development of processes for an effective learning environment. For adaptive learning, individual learning is an important factor, which can be acquired through AI techniques. Kucak et al. [15] have proposed a study on the role of machine learning technologies and their current and future applications in education. The findings show that with the help of ML, the faculties can reach the students within no time. The student’s knowledge and skills can be predicted very easily and efficiently with the use of machine learning algorithms. One can identify the weak areas of students and different ways to improve them. With the ability to continuously comment about the students’ performance, the teachers and parents are aware of their current progress at any time. Kulkarni et al. [16] have presented a chatbot to handle a customer’s queries in a bank and provide them with a suitable solution. They can provide their query in Simple English, and the system will efficiently resolve the issue. The customer will be provided with the same service environment with one variation that there will be an AI-based robot system instead of a human being. Due to the fast working of bots, the system will be beneficial to both bank and customer in time-saving. The system will be able to decrease the burden from humans, increase the effectiveness, and have a large number of convincing customers.


## 3. AI-Based Intelligent Humanized Lecturer

Nalyvaiko and Maliutina [17] have proposed a study to find out the use of chatbots by the students of higher educational institutions (HEI) and their role in the procedures of HEIs. Due to the advancement in information and communication technology, people are more attracted to interactive platforms. The young generation prefers smart devices over books. Therefore, there is a need to develop and optimize the learning process with the help of chatbots. In the opinion of about 63 percent of respondents, using chatbots in the education process is very effective and beneficial. About 2 percent of participants are not in favor of chatbots. Arain et al. [18] have proposed a study to develop a chatbot that consists of three interfaces for the examination section of Mehran University. The bot will help in addressing multiple students at a time and hence can save their time. By comparing all the interfaces, it was predicted that due to convenience, usability, and general acceptance, the English keying grounded interface is best to be used. The chatbot can give responses in both written and speaking forms to the queries of the users. It will be beneficial in speeding up the examination activities. Hsu et al. [19] have presented a chatbot for English learners to practice English speaking with an online system called TPBOT to remove their fear of speaking English. The results show that it is a very effective and productive tool for oral English learning. The students who participated in the experiments have greatly increased their oral skills. The system is capable of providing on-the-spot assessment and provides constructive responses. It will help the learners to learn oral English without any uneasiness due to practicing with human native speakers. Petrovic and Jovanovic [20] have proposed a study on chatbots as language learning agents and the forthcoming encounters in this area. Chatbots play a very vital role in the learning process of English learners. It can provide learners with a variety of vocabulary, different syntax, and semantics. They are capable of learning from humans through professional management and hence can seizure the development of languages. With the help of AI-based techniques for text and voice recognition, the chatbot can be equipped with more incredible technology. Noviyanti [21] has proposed a study for finding out the positive impact of pronunciation learning with the help of a pronunciation inspector based on artificial intelligence. A questionnaire was used to check the views of students about the system, a. The result shows that the oral communication of the students has been improved very well. In the opinion of the students, the use of AI-based technologies is beneficial in pronunciation, but this process can be made faster if they can practice oral English with human native speakers.Phobun and Vicheanpanya [22] have presented a combination of an artificial intelligence-based system with an adaptive learning environment. The system helps make the available knowledge independent of different constraints and makes the students’ e-learning more interactive and fruitful. For better delivery of thoughts, the use of Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) is very essential while artificial intelligence-based tutoring systems improve the problem-solving skills with these thoughts. AH and the intelligent tutoring system (ITS) are playing a very important role in learning based on computers. The proposed system is the combination of both of these systems. Rahimi and Fatemeh Hosseini [23] have proposed a study to find out the opinion of high school students of Iran on the use of the artificial intelligence-based system for learning foreign languages. The results show that after the training, the students are in favor of using computer-assisted technologies for learning languages. They have a positive attitude toward the environment of computers, artificial intelligence-based exercises, and assessments. With the use of computer and information technologies, the students are able to increase their confidence level and make a positive attitude toward its friendly environment. However, the overall trust in the computer is dependent on the training of the participants.

In the opinion of the learners, the software is very helpful in their classroom to achieve the goal of learning the language. The assessment system of the proposed technology is also very effective. Azzi et al. [26] have proposed a study in order to know the learning style of the learners and provide the contents according to it. For the reading of students’ education conduct, the web usage mining is used, and then the recorded data is mapped with Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model. Fuzzy C Means algorithm was used to make clusters from the recorded information. Knowing of user’s learning environment is essential for the easy, timely, and fruitful understanding of the provided content from the learners. It is also helpful for the teachers to decide which teaching method is very effective and productive for the particular online session.


## 4. Creation of Intelligence-Based Learning Path

Kolekar et al. [27] have proposed a study to find out the user’s learning style by the activities or navigations that the user is performing on the online learning system. The proposed approach has used ANN of machine learning and web usage mining. The suggested procedure work on the history of the system, hence, can detect any change in the design and record the recent learning behavior of the end-user. The content of the online system should be adapted according to the requirement of the end-users. Due to the unique learning nature of every student, the teaching method affects the outcome in one way or the other way. Meng-Yue et al. [28] have proposed a system for using artificial intelligence-based systems to teach college English culture and create unique opportunities for students to learn English culture effectively. With the use of artificial aided design, the teaching and learning environments can be promoted and advanced. They can be used to learn about English culture in a very positive manner. In college English teaching, the integration of machine learning with the curriculum can bring innovations in the teaching and learning process. The proposed system is the combination of AI, ML, DL, and big data. With the usage of artificial intelligence, it is easy to provide the students of English culture with good quality of knowledge. Yuan [29] has discussed the artificial intelligence-based technologies in college English learning, their applications, and innovations in the field of English education to design an effective college English teaching. With the implementation of AI in education, the students learning skills have been enhanced and very helpful in achieving the goal of English learning. The survey related to the proposed system shows that about 92% of learners favor using computer-assisted machines in the process of English learning. The students also prefer teaching methods based on the use of advanced information and communication technology.

Compared to old teaching methods, the suggested one has better consequences on students’ performance and interest. With the mutual bond of artificial intelligence and big data, the current system has provided a suitable direction for gaining knowledge of the English language.Che et al. [31] have proposed an IoT wearable system grounded on artificial intelligence to use human-computer interaction in college schooling. The system can get data from the remote storage as per the user’s requirement and then perform some computations on that data with the help of artificial intelligence. It is very easy for the students to practice and educate themselves to use the proposed wearable device without any trainer. The suggested system is very effective in the assessment of athletes during fieldwork or exercises. Due to the selection of data according to the condition of each student, the system can handle everyone independently. Nabiyev et al. [32] have proposed a method for improving the skills of students in mathematics and improving the use of artificial intelligence in distance learning. The survey findings show that the system is functional and is very productive in solving different mathematical problems. There is a need for some abstract alterations. More questions can be added to the system in the teacher module of the system. In the view of students, the system helps increase the knowledge of solving a specific problem and an understanding of it. It is necessary to make a habit of solving a specific problem in a stepwise manner. The students can discuss and communicate with one another to solve the exercise. Dong and Tsai [33] have proposed an architecture grounded on fuzzy neural network (FNN), and the techniques of computational technologies are applied to make an interactive for learning English. The system automatically performs functions like score calculation, making an individual’s learning plan, and making quantitative approaches for sentences. With the suggested method, some deficiencies like reciting words and many more are removed from the old-fashioned English learning. The system will improve the learning skill of students by providing them with the learning environment according to their requirements. The thesaurus used in the proposed approach is taken from a free public source. With the use of the neural network, the intelligence of AI-based technologies is increased very much. Chen and Li [34] have proposed an architecture of adaptive English vocabulary learning based on the location of the user recorded with the help of wireless techniques, learning with time, and the individual capability of learning to support the students in understanding the vocabulary of the English language. The experiment’s findings show that people using PCULS have better speech performance than those without background responsiveness. The system can get the location of the user up to 92% accuracy. With the help of PDA, the system is implemented for practical use without any restrictions of space and time. About 72% of people are in favor of using the system with the concept of background awareness.


## 5. Computer-Assisted Tutoring Systems

Sung [36] has proposed a study to examine the performance of artificial intelligence-based English speaking chatbots. The two groups that were analyzed have made two systems. One is behaving like a new friend while the other is responding in particular conditions. The experiment’s findings show that it is a valuable time for the students to interact with the chatbots playfully and adaptively. The student’s communication sessions with the systems can improve their speaking and listening skills and build their confidence level. It is also identified that using artificial intelligence-based systems can help the learners of foreign languages to learn and advance their knowledge about the conversation of a particular language. Liu [37] has proposed a study to find out the positive impact of language teaching through IB-MALL in the opinion of students in China. The students with no English background are facing a lot of difficulties in China in their English learning. For the excellent survey and data collection, both quantitative and qualitative analyses are carried out. In the students’ views, by using the proposed system, their command of English speaking and listening is improved, but their other skills are also developed. From the recorded data, it was found that almost all the students favor the proposed system and show their acceptance toward Internet-based Multimedia Assisted Language Learning (IB-MALL). Some of the students have also provided valuable proposals for more applications and advancement of IB-MALL.Cuiye [38] has proposed a study on the combination of artificial intelligence-based applications and English teaching to solve the problems and difficulties in the old-fashioned way of English learning.

The teachers are required to assimilate the new and advanced technologies into the teaching process and curriculum. With the combination of these, the English learning process can be made more productive and mature. Dasic et al. [44] have proposed a study to dig out the applications and improvement and the usability of ITS in the learning methods of a new era. The online learning model is the combination of recent advancements in information technology and education. ITS usage in e-learning is accepted as very interactive and practical and is very helpful in making individualized learning possible. They are based on artificial intelligence and machine learning; hence, they can make effective strategies for personalized learning and thus keep the self-esteem of a learner. They are helpful to the students in correcting and providing suggestions related to their knowledge. With the implementation of AI algorithms, intelligent tutoring systems can solve any difficulty in teaching and learning. Alhabbash et al. [45] have proposed an intelligent tutoring system for the learners of English grammar. The students will be able to learn English language grammar in a straightforward and relaxed environment. The proposed approach can generate exercises related to each topic to check the students’ skills in a particular section of grammar. It is based on a personalized learning atmosphere and can be used by every student independently. An experiment was performed with a group of students to check the performance of the intelligent tutoring system. The experiment’s findings show that the students are in favor of the proposed approach, and their grammar has been improved and developed with the system.Michaud et al. [46] have presented a sample of a device to improve and advance the writing skills of deaf students in school and college who are more comfortable with ASL than English. The system can take input from the students in written form and then examine that text for the syntax errors and allow the students to create possible solutions to correct the mistakes. The students are provided with constant feedback by the system and a comfortable, peaceful environment. The system is used for the learning purposes of the user and can analyze both the ASL and English language of the users. Baker et al. [47] have proposed a study to find out the reliability and practicability of intelligent tutoring systems to develop and increase the vocabulary and expertise of the English language of the students. About 217 students admitted to the English taught program were examined with the intelligent tutoring system. The analysis revealed that students using ITS have improved and developed vocabulary compared to other students. In the opinion of the students, it is exciting and creative to learn with ITS. The teachers are also in favor of the proposed system and accept the system as very effective and fruitful for the learners. The results show that the intelligent system can be used in the classroom to increase the productivity of the teaching and learning process. Terzopoulos and Satratzemi [48] have proposed a study to analyze the abilities and developments in education by artificial intelligence and natural language processing-based intelligent devices. With the use of AI and NLP, these devices can communicate and interact with the user in human-understandable languages. For providing and assisting disabled people, these voice assistants are proved to be very effective and game-changers. They can lessen the burden from the teacher and perform some functional tasks like assessment, quizzes, and interaction with the students in place of a teacher. However, one of the main disadvantages and matter of concern is that these devices cannot speak many languages. There is a need for proper and organized practice for teachers to use these voice assistants in the classroom. Junaidi et al. [49] have proposed a study to determine the productivity and impacts of AI-based applications in learning English as a foreign language. For this study, Lyra Virtual Assistant (LVA) is selected due to its simplicity in usage, being cheap, and improving students’ pronunciation. An experiment was performed with two groups of students of the seventh class. The analysis shows that the students using the LVA have demonstrated significant improvement and development compared to the other learners. Using the proposed system, the students can achieve high-quality speaking skills and the system is very effective in improving the conversation power of students. The teachers should encourage the students the usage of computer-assisted devices in learning foreign languages. Parab [50] has proposed a study to show the effectiveness and improvement in the learning process of human teachers compared to AI-based intelligent systems. It was found that lack of human communication is a vital problem in computer-assisted teachers. AI and NLP-based machines should not replace human teachers but should be used for the help of a human to lessen the workload from a teacher. By making the other routine works of teachers automatic, they will be able to focus and concentrate on the skills and knowledge of the students. In short, the improvement and productivity in the performance of students can be brought only with the help of a human teacher. Voice assistants can be used to relieve the teacher in their daily routines. The proposed study has considered searching the famous libraries including ScienceDirect, ACM, MDPI, Springer, and IEEE for the search process.
