This paper aims to explore digital learning experiences for Business English students (BES). To gather insights, a survey was conducted with master students (N= 85), and descriptive results were analyzed and interpreted. Open questions in the survey were employed to gather students’ opinions on AI and the role of the Business English professor. The findings revealed several key principles related to personalized learning and AI, which provide real-time feedback, helping students improve their language proficiency and communication abilities. This research suggests that integrating AI into the curriculum enables educators to provide personalized learning experiences tailored to each student's unique needs and learning styles. These adaptive learning systems can pinpoint areas of weakness and offer personalized instructional materials to help students overcome difficulties while preserving their autonomy. This will allow professors to allocate greater time to scholarly pursuits and research-centric endeavors.
