THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' SPEECH THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS

The development of speech skills in primary school students is a critical aspect of early education, influencing cognitive growth, literacy, and social interaction. In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have emerged as effective instruments for enhancing language learning and communication abilities in young learners. This paper explores the importance of integrating AI technologies into primary education to support speech development. AI-powered tools, such as speech recognition software, intelligent tutoring systems, and interactive language applications, provide personalized learning experiences, immediate feedback, and safe practice environments. These tools help improve pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and overall communication competence while motivating students through gamified and engaging activities. Furthermore, AI facilitates inclusive education by assisting students with speech disorders or learning difficulties.
