Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has created new opportunities in education, including English language learning for early childhood learners. This conceptual paper aims to examine and analyze the use of AI chatbots as interactive learning media in English vocabulary learning strategies for young children aged 4–6 years. The study employs a literature review approach by analyzing various theories of child learning, second language acquisition, and the development of AI-based chatbot technology within the context of early childhood education. The findings indicate that AI chatbots have significant potential as interactive learning media capable of providing personalized, responsive, and engaging learning experiences for young children. AI chatbots can integrate play-based learning approaches, provide instant feedback, and create an immersive and low-anxiety environment for English language learning. The implications of this study are expected to serve as a foundation for developing innovative and adaptive English vocabulary learning strategies in the digital era.
