The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has transformed teaching practices, especially in the area of Teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The article discusses the role of AI, notably ChatGPT, in innovating ESP education for Teaching English major students. ChatGPT, a cutting-edge AI language model developed by OpenAI, facilitates personalized learning experiences through the simulation of real-life professional settings and the delivery of instant, context-specific feedback on the use of language, grammar, and vocabulary. It enables ESP learners to practice and enhance their communication skills in settings that are directly relevant to their own professions, such as business, law, medicine, and engineering. The paper examines the numerous benefits of ChatGPT, including its capability to personalize learning tasks, provide real-time corrections, and create interactive and dynamic dialogue that mimics professional real-life interaction. Furthermore, it discusses feasible means of integrating ChatGPT into ESP courses, including task-based learning, blended modes, and collaborative tasks. With these innovative methods, educators can more effectively address the diverse and specialized needs of ESP students. This study highlights the potential of AI technology like ChatGPT to transform ESP teaching in the way it offers scalable, adaptive, and interactive solutions to enhance language ability and prepare learners for the needs of their professional disciplines.
