In the contemporary era of digital advancements, the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies with language education has emerged as a revolutionary approach to both teaching and learning. This comprehensive article thoroughly examines how AI techniques are applied in teaching modern French to enhance communication skills. Through an exhaustive exploration of existing literature, theoretical frameworks, and practical insights, this paper sheds light on the potential benefits, challenges, and pedagogical considerations associated with the integration of AI in French language education. It delves deeply into various AI-based tools and techniques such as machine learning algorithms, natural language processing (NLP), chatbots, virtual reality (VR) simulations, and augmented reality (AR), elucidating their roles in optimizing language acquisition and nurturing communicative competence. Furthermore, ethical concerns, future directions, and implications for both research and practice in AI-enhanced French language education are also addressed within the scope of this article.
