description The purpose of this essay is to inform about the importance of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in oral communication courses to boost learners speaking skills at a university level. Indeed, it is known that teaching oral courses in college is not an easy task for teachers since they want their learners to become effective, efficient, and productive in English. This is a serious concern, and teachers ought to be creative, enthusiastic, and responsible for achieving the learning goals that their learners have, that is, the former want to give AI different pedagogical uses to help their learners accomplish those set learning goals. With AI-generated resources, teachers know that using these technological tools help support students in their language performance as the latter sometimes face some difficulties in language use, and that can be noticed in oral communication courses. Therefore, AI becomes an ally in the development of an English class because it offers many tools that both teachers and students can implement during the teaching-learning process. AI is not a new tool because it has been available since the Internet was invented; however, EFL teachers and students are now aware of the benefits it might bring if it is well-introduced in the described courses.
