Abstract
This chapter delves into the viewpoints and experiences of current English language teachers regarding digital burnout in second language acquisition (SLA) and the possible role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reducing its negative impacts. Content analysis was used to extract themes and patterns from data gathered through interviews and journals. Increased screen time and emotions of being overwhelmed are only two of the issues the report cites as obstacles to online learning. Significant difficulties include learning to use different platforms and dealing with feelings of isolation. The study also highlights the potential advantages of using AI technologies in SLA, including tailor-made learning paths, instantaneous feedback, diversifying activities, and engagement and fun. This research helps expand the knowledge of digital burnout and sheds light on the usefulness of AI resources for teaching foreign languages.
