Аннотация. Искусственный интеллект (AI) значительно меняет систему оценки
знаний по английскому языку, предоставляя преподавателям инновационные
способы анализа результатов учащихся, создания тестовых материалов и
мгновенной обратной связи. В отличие от традиционных методов оценки,
которые часто основаны на медленной проверке и ограниченной
диагностической информации, инструменты на базе AI создают гибкую,
интерактивную и насыщенную данными среду оценки. В статье
рассматриваются ключевые возможности, предлагаемые AI: оценка в реальном
времени, адаптивное тестирование, мультимодальные задания и
персонализированная обратная связь, ориентированная на учащегося. Также
подчеркиваются проблемы, связанные с обеспечением справедливости,
прозрачностью алгоритмов, подготовкой преподавателей и этичным
использованием данных студентов. При ответственном внедрении AI способен
повысить эффективность, значимость и справедливость оценивания.
Ключевые слова: AI-оценка, уровень владения английским, адаптивное
тестирование, автоматизированная проверка, системы обратной связи, цифровая
педагогика, этический AI.
