Abstract
The research investigates how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools affect students' language learning vocabulary development. It explains
vocabulary as a core component of communication and highlights the growing use of technology-enhanced
language learning (TELL) methods in higher education. The research examines how Quizlet and Memrise interactive learning systems and AI-based chatbots enable students to receive immediate feedback during
personalized practice sessions at their own learning pace. Research evidence shows that students achieve
better learning results when ICT and AI are integrated because these technologies increase student
participation and motivation and enhance their ability to remember vocabulary. The implementation of AI
in education faces ongoing obstacles because students lack equal access to technology and they need better
digital skills and they depend too heavily on automated systems. The research shows that ICT and AI tools
achieve their best results when teachers use them within credit-modular systems that receive proper
guidance and maintain appropriate human involvement. The method allows students to build their
vocabulary skills progressively toward achieving complete language proficiency.
