Abstract
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape educational landscapes, its role as a virtual English teacher has become increasingly relevant. This study investigates how AI-driven learning environments can simulate the functions of human English teachers by delivering personalized instruction, providing real-time feedback, and facilitating student-centered learning. Drawing on theoretical frameworks, recent technological developments, and case study analyses, the research outlines the design principles and pedagogical implications of using AI as a virtual instructor. Findings show that properly designed AI systems can enhance learner engagement, autonomy, and performance. However, limitations such as emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and ethical concerns remain critical to address
