The qualitative paper explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing language learning for students with dyslexia. To do so, the study delves into existing literature to understand the unique challenges faced by dyslexic learners and the upcoming role of AI in addressing these challenges. Then, the paper highlights three innovative ways AI can be integrated into the language classroom to support dyslexic students: 1) AI as a writing helper, utilizing context clues to assist in proofreading and refining student writing; 2) AI as a text-to-speech assistant, providing auditory support for reading and comprehension tasks; and 3) AI as a tool to practice target vocabulary, where AI generates personalized exercises enabling students to master key vocabulary. Each suggestion is scrutinized for its practical implications, benefits, and potential limitations, providing a balanced perspective on the integration of AI in educational settings. The paper aims to contribute to the discourse on technology as a way to achieve a better learning environment for students with dyslexia.
