The objective of this study is to analyze and elucidate the incorporation of AI technology into the English language instruction process in Islamic universities in Indonesia. It also seeks to identify the obstacles and possibilities that emerge from this integration. The study employed a qualitative methodology, including observations, interviews, and documentation studies to gather data from both lecturers and students at Fatmawati Sukarno State Islamic University (UIN), Bengkulu during the academic year 2024-2025. The findings demonstrated that AI has the potential to enhance the efficiency of English language acquisition by means of tailored and interactive learning. AI facilitates the rapid enhancement of students’ proficiency in speaking, writing, listening, and reading by delivering precise and immediate feedback. Nevertheless, the presence of inadequate infrastructure and a lack of digital literacy among teachers and pupils pose significant barriers that must be surmounted. In order to maximize the capabilities of AI, this paper proposes numerous approaches such as providing training to lecturers, revising the curriculum, and fostering collaboration between educational institutions and stakeholders. Incorporating AI into English language education in Islamic universities not only enhances students’ linguistic abilities, but also equips them to confront worldwide technologies-driven issues.
