This study presents a systematic review of empirical research on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in English education published between 30 November 2022 and December 2024, covering 50 studies. The review identifies the predominant generative AI tools, their educational functions, and recent trends in their evolution. Results show that ChatGPT is overwhelmingly dominant, appearing in 56% of studies, yet 54% of them did not specify the model version, raising serious concerns regarding reproducibility. Reported functions include pronunciation analysis, interactive dialogue, vocabulary support, automated writing evaluation, idea generation, and machine translation, with applications supporting integrated language functions showing notably higher adoption rates. The findings further highlight the rapid advancement of AI capabilities, particularly in processing speed, accuracy, and multimodal functionality. These results underscore the necessity of detailed reporting on AI model versions and experimental conditions to ensure reproducibility and to establish standardized guidelines for AI-enhanced educational research.
