An AI Free Method of Oral English Language Learning : A Study

Abstract

The rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies has transformed the way languages such as English are learned and taught. Numerous applications, online platforms, and AI-powered tools now provide learners with opportunities to practice vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking, reading, and writing. However, digital learning is not equally accessible to all learners, particularly in rural and under-resourced regions of India where electricity, internet connectivity, and technological facilities may be unreliable or unavailable. In such contexts, technology-free language learning remains essential. This paper highlights the continuing significance of the teacher’s role in developing English language skills through oral practice, storytelling, discussions, language games, role-play, picture-based activities, and real-life communication. It argues that effective pedagogy, continuous practice, and teacher involvement can sustain meaningful English learning even without digital infrastructure.
