Helping Military Trainees To Develop English Proficiency Through Technology-Enhanced Online Learning
Abstract
The increasing involvement of military personnel in multinational operations has intensified the demand for effective English language proficiency in professional and operational contexts. This study investigates the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing English language learning among military trainees through online and technology-enhanced instruction. Using a mixed-methods research design, the study combines quantitative performance data with qualitative evidence from surveys, interviews, and classroom observations. The results indicate that ICT-supported and AI-assisted learning environments significantly improve communicative competence, learner motivation, autonomy, and the acquisition of military-specific vocabulary, particularly in listening and speaking skills. Interactive digital platforms, mobile learning applications, and adaptive AI tools promote sustained engagement by providing personalized feedback and flexible access to learning materials. In addition, immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality effectively simulate authentic military communication scenarios. Overall, the findings confirm that the strategic integration of ICT and AI enhances the effectiveness of English language training in military education and supports international cooperation and operational readiness.
