Abstract

This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping English language teaching (ELT) in Vietnam and the Russian Federation, focusing on policy frameworks, pedagogical applications, and institutional practices. Through a comparative qualitative analysis of national strategies, university-level implementations, and stakeholder perceptions, the paper investigates the extent to which AI integration aligns with broader educational reforms and digital transformation agendas. Drawing on recent policy documents, government resolutions (e.g., Vietnam’s Decision No. 131/QĐ-TTg, Russia’s Digital Economy Program), and empirical data from selected universities in both countries, the research highlights both convergences and divergences in approach. While both nations recognize AI as a catalyst for innovation, their trajectories differ in terms of infrastructure readiness, teacher preparedness, and localization of technologies. Key challenges include unequal access, insufficient training, and ethical concerns, yet the potential for cross-border collaboration and shared innovation is promising. The study proposes a future-oriented, competency-based framework for AI-driven ELT and calls for more inclusive, context-sensitive strategies that bridge the digital divide. This paper contributes to the growing body of literature on AI in education by offering region-specific insights and practical implications for policymakers, educators, and institutional leaders in under-resourced contexts.
