The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the education system by offering new technologies that improve educational process. This study explores the impacts of AI on the experiences and learning outcomes of the university students. The study has three main objectives: the evaluation of the effects of AI use on students learning outcomes; their experiences with AI; and the comparison of their experiences with those without AI. 366 undergraduate students from three HEC-recognized universities in Islamabad- the National University of Modern Languages (NUML), Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU), and International Islamic University (IIU) - were involved in the quantitative data collection process. However, a considerable positive connection was found between AI integration and students’ learning experiences. Higher academic achievements, more individualized learning experiences, and enhanced engagement were reported by students who use AI. Additionally, AI solution can offer instant feedback, sophisticated lear4ning pathways, and tailored recommendations that are streamline with each individual learning preferences and tendencies. The results highlighted the breakthrough potentials of AI in educational settings. It demonstrates that its implementation can boost students’ interaction and academic performance considerably. Due to its adaptive and tailored suggestions along with instant feedbacks, AI tools such as ChatGPT, chatbots, Grammarly and Google AI are increasingly employed for learning. Thus, in order to enhance students’ learning experiences and academic performance, and pave the way for future advancement in education, the responsible use of AI should be encouraged by incorporating AI into universities curricula.

This research aims to examine the connection between classroom involvement and learning of English speaking skills among the university students. English-speaking skill has assumed an important position among the students in the universities in a world that is slowly turning into a global one in academic and professional practices. Since they have studied English over the years, most students struggle to communicate in English since they have not enough time to engage actively in classroom. The regular teacher-centered approaches are more likely to discourage student participation resulting in lack of confidence and ineffective speaking abilities. The present study discusses the relationship between the engagement in classrooms and the process of English-speaking development in the context of university students with special focus on the significance of multimodal learning practices. Based on the Multimodal Learning Theory, developed by Kress (2010), the proposed study uses mixed-method research design, whereby a structured questionnaire has been used in the collection of both quantitative and qualitative data among the students of the University of Gujrat. The results show that there is a strong positive relation between classroom participation and development of major speaking skills such as fluency, confidence, vocabulary and pronunciation. The other activities such as group discussion, presentation and peer communications were noted to have a very positive effect on the communicative competence of the students. Multimodal features such as visual aids, gestures, online tools were also incorporated and this also added to the learning of language. The role of creating interactive and student-centered learning environments is underlined in the study. The results suggest that educators should consider adopting the participatory and multimodal teaching practice as a way of facilitating successful language learning. The findings have practical implications for enhancing English speaking skills in higher education, particularly in the context of English as a Second Language (ESL).
