The evolving Indian education system, driven by the global demand for foreign language proficiency, faces a critical challenge in literacy. While AI integration holds promise, the current curriculum's oral proficiency focus neglects crucial reading and writing skills. This imbalance results in learners adept in spoken aspects but deficient in comprehensive language skills. The study aims to assess the state of foreign language learning, explore AI's impact on literacy, and identify opportunities and challenges in AI integration. The goal is to propose nuanced recommendations for a transformative shift towards a more inclusive and effective foreign language education system, addressing the unique needs of India's linguistic landscape.
