The article explores the transformative impact of intelligent communication technologies (ICTs) on language education within higher education institutions. Integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and semantic processing, ICTs redefine traditional teaching by fostering adaptive, learner-centered, and interactive environments. The study aims to analyze how these technologies enhance student motivation, autonomy, and engagement. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses through surveys distributed among students from State University “Zhytomyr Polytechnic”, Dragomanov Ukrainian State University, and Polissia National University. The results demonstrate a predominantly positive attitude toward ICT integration: 70–75% of students regularly use AI-powered tools such as Duolingo, Grammarly, and ChatGPT to improve their language skills. The findings highlight that digital applications effectively support grammar, vocabulary, writing, and speaking development while promoting learner independence and confidence. However, some students expressed concerns regarding automated feedback accuracy and app usability, emphasizing the need for digital literacy training and structured pedagogical support. Overall, the research confirms that intelligent communication technologies significantly contribute to reshaping language learning, enabling personalized instruction, intercultural communication, and autonomous skill development. The study underscores the importance of balancing human interaction with intelligent systems to ensure that technology serves as a complement—not a substitute—for meaningful, communicative learning in the digital era.
