AI-GENERATED VIDEOS AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: EXPLORING PERSONALIZED LEARNING, PRONUNCIATION DEVELOPMENT, AND LEARNER ENGAGEMENT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is creating new opportunities for second language learning through personalized,

interactive, and multimedia-based educational experiences. This study explores the potential role of AIgenerated videos in second language acquisition, focusing on personalized learning, pronunciation

development, and learner engagement. AI-generated videos can integrate spoken language, subtitles, visual

demonstrations, contextual examples, and adjustable instructional content to support learners with different

language proficiency levels and educational needs. These features may help learners improve vocabulary

recognition, listening comprehension, pronunciation awareness, and confidence in language use. This study

adopts a literature-based research approach to examine recent developments in AI-assisted language education

and video-based learning. Recent scholarly reviews indicate that generative AI has expanded opportunities for

individualized feedback, adaptive practice, and interactive language learning, although speaking and listening

have received less research attention than writing. The study also considers challenges associated with AIgenerated videos, including inaccurate pronunciation, unnatural speech, misleading subtitles, unequal access to

technology, and excessive dependence on automated learning tools. The findings from the reviewed literature

suggest that AI-generated videos have promising educational potential; however, their specific effects on longterm pronunciation improvement and sustained learner engagement require further empirical investigation. The

study emphasizes the importance of combining AI-generated video resources with teacher guidance, authentic

communication, and evidence-based instructional strategies. It contributes to the discussion of emerging

technologies in second language education and provides directions for developing effective, accessible, and

learner-centered video-based learning environments
