Keywords:

This article examines the development of EFL students’ speech act competence through AI-generated multimodal tasks. Speech act competence is understood as the ability to recognize communicative intentions and produce contextually appropriate requests, apologies, refusals, complaints, suggestions, offers, nd other illocutionary acts. The study proposes a pedagogical framework in which generative artificial intelligence produces combinations of text, audio, image, dialogue, and role-based scenarios.
