Abstract: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its integration into higher education has significantly transformed traditional English language learning models. This study explores how AI-powered tools, such as intelligent writing assistants, speech recognition systems, and real-time translation software, influence university students' English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Based on a mixed-method approach combining surveys, interviews, and case analysis, the research reveals that AI technologies enhance personalized learning, increase learner engagement, and improve language accuracy and fluency. However, the study also highlights challenges such as overreliance on technology, critical thinking decline, and unequal access to AI tools. The findings provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and learners in building a more adaptive and inclusive AI-augmented English learning ecosystem.
