The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought transformative changes to contemporary educational practices, particularly in the field of English language teaching and communication studies. Communication skills—comprising listening, speaking, reading, and writing—are fundamental to academic achievement, employability, leadership capacity, and meaningful participation in the global knowledge economy. However, traditional pedagogical approaches often fail to address the diverse linguistic needs of learners, especially in overcrowded classrooms and resource-constrained higher education institutions. This paper explores AI-enabled strategies for developing communication skills in higher education. It critically examines how AI-driven tools such as Grammarly, Duolingo, ELSA Speak, Chat-GPT, and Google Lens facilitate personalized learning, real-time feedback, adaptive assessment, and immersive engagement. The discussion is aligned with the transformative goals of the National Education Policy 2020, which emphasizes digital literacy, inclusivity, multilingualism, and competency-based education. Through descriptive and qualitative analysis, the study highlights pedagogical benefits, implementation strategies, challenges, and ethical considerations of AI integration. The paper proposes a sustainable blended AI–human instructional framework that balances technological innovation with teacher mentorship. It concludes that AI-enabled communication training can significantly contribute to the vision of Viksit Bharat by equipping learners with essential linguistic competencies required in the digital era.
