    Abstract This final document investigates the increasing importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, with a specific focus on its applications in foreign language teaching. The authors emphasize that AI has the potential to revolutionize educational environments by providing personalized learning experiences, improving student engagement, and automating administrative tasks. AI technologies, such as learning management systems (LMS), chatbots, and virtual classrooms, enable more dynamic and adaptable teaching methods that cater to individual student needs. By integrating AI into curricula, educators can prepare students for a technology-driven future. The research conducted is based on a Specialization Course on the Administration of Virtual Environments for Foreign Language Teaching and Learning. This course demonstrates how AI tools can be applied in virtual learning settings to improve teaching methodologies and learning outcomes. AI’s ability to tailor educational content, provide real-time feedback, and automate repetitive tasks is highlighted as crucial in enhancing both teaching and learning processes. However, the ethical implications of AI, particularly regarding data privacy and the potential displacement of educators, are recognized as challenges that must be addressed in future educational strategies. Through three key modules, the research demonstrates how educators can effectively implement AI in teaching foreign languages. The first module focused on setting up online environments using tools like Google Classroom and LMSs to facilitate synchronous and asynchronous learning. The second module explores the use of educational applications, including tools like Kahoot, Nearpod, and Ed Puzzle, to make language learning interactive and engaging. The third module emphasized creating didactic materials using multimedia tools such as podcasts and video content, to support diverse learning needs in virtual classrooms.
