Abstract
The revolutionary advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has fundamentally transformed English language learning management, particularly in enhancing learners' cognitive empowerment and metacognitive awareness. This article aims to 1) analyze the current state of AI integration in English language learning pedagogy, 2) evaluate the multidimensional impact on linguistic skill development and cognitive capabilities, and 3) develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for AI - supported language learning management in twenty - first - century educational contexts. This study employs a systematic literature review methodology following PRISMA guidelines, conducting comprehensive searches across Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and ProQuest databases with relevant keywords concerning AI and English language learning. Selection criteria included peer - reviewed empirical research articles published between 2019 - 2024, quantitative reporting of educational outcomes, and systematic cognitive skill development analysis. Out of 427 initially identified articles, 57 studies met all rigorous inclusion criteria. Findings demonstrate that AI integration significantly enhances linguistic skill development efficiency, particularly in speaking, writing, and autonomous learning competencies. Learners receiving AI support exhibited significantly higher development in speaking proficiency and self - regulated learning capacity compared to traditional instruction. Furthermore, AI integration substantially increased learning motivation and critical thinking skills, especially when utilizing specialized AI chatbots, consistent with meta - analysis results showing moderately high effect sizes on communication skill development. This article proposes the innovative "AI - Enhanced Linguistic Pedagogy" (AELP) framework, systematically integrating linguistic principles, AI technology, and educational philosophy to create comprehensive cognitive empowerment learning environments. The framework addresses pedagogical design, technological affordances, and assessment methodologies holistically. Findings highlight the critical necessity of developing educational policies that support ethical AI utilization, comprehensive teacher preparation programs, and innovative assessment systems aligned with digital - age learning requirements. This research holds significant implications for developing sustainable and effective English language learning strategies in the artificial intelligence era, encompassing pedagogical innovation, technological integration, and cognitive development optimization through AI - mediated instruction for transformative global educational advancement and learner empowerment
