Abstract

The exploration of the application of information technology in the fields of General English and Business English has emerged as a crucial area of research. This systematic literature review examined 32 indexed research articles published between 2021 and 2024, focusing on the application of machine learning, deep learning, ChatGPT, and other algorithms in these domains. The main aim of this review is to assess the current academic development in the optimization of General English and Business English learning in the context of AI technology The findings underscored that the utilization of information technology was minimal in listening. In contrast, significant and effective applications of deep learning, machine learning, ChatGPT, and other algorithms were observed in speaking, writing, and translation works. Notably, the highest level of interest was noted by researchers in China, with Asian researchers accounting for 91% of the contributions. In contrast, General English exhibited broader applicability, encompassing a diverse target population. This research ultimately provides valuable insights for researchers and educators, guiding the development of innovative educational practices in the context of language learning in the AI era in line with SDG 4 that focusses on Quality Education.
