ENHANCING MOTIVATION THROUGH AI-SUPPORTED PERSONALIZED ESP INSTRUCTION AMONG BIOLOGY STUDENTS IN UZBEKISTAN
Authors/Creators
Description
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has transformed educational practices worldwide, especially in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction. In Uzbekistan, biology students increasingly require specialized English proficiency to access international scientific literature, participate in research collaboration, and engage in global academic communication. However, many students demonstrate low motivation toward ESP learning because of limited personalization, insufficient interaction, and traditional teaching approaches. This article explores how AI-supported personalized ESP instruction can enhance the motivation of biology students in Uzbekistan. Drawing upon contemporary studies in AI-assisted language learning, adaptive learning systems, and motivation theory, the paper analyzes the pedagogical value of AI technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, adaptive learning platforms, and gamified applications. The article also discusses the challenges of implementing AI in Uzbek higher education and provides recommendations for educators and policymakers. The findings suggest that AI-supported personalized instruction significantly improves learner engagement, autonomy, confidence, and academic motivation among biology students.
