Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penggunaan Artificial Intelligence (AI) dalam pembelajaran English for Young Learners (EYL) serta mengkaji integrasi aspek pedagogis dan sosial-emosional dalam konteks Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD). Urgensi penelitian ini didasarkan pada pesatnya adopsi AI dalam pendidikan, sementara sintesis bukti empiris yang secara khusus memetakan integrasi aspek pedagogis dan sosial-emosional AI dalam pembelajaran EYL di PAUD masih terbatas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan berpedoman pada PRISMA. Penelusuran literatur dilakukan melalui tujuh basis data, yaitu Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, PsycINFO, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, dan Google Scholar, terhadap publikasi periode 2018–2025. Dari 1.296 catatan yang teridentifikasi, sebanyak 63 studi empiris memenuhi kriteria seleksi dan dianalisis menggunakan sintesis tematik naratif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teknologi AI, seperti robot sosial, chatbot, dan platform adaptif, berpotensi mendukung pembelajaran EYL apabila diintegrasikan melalui aktivitas berbasis permainan dan dimediasi oleh guru. Manfaat yang paling konsisten dilaporkan berkaitan dengan penguasaan kosakata, keterampilan berbicara, dan motivasi belajar. Sementara itu, dukungan terhadap aspek sosial-emosional tercermin melalui kehadiran sosial, pengurangan kecemasan, dan terciptanya pengalaman belajar yang lebih aman secara psikologis, meskipun bukti empiris langsung dalam konteks PAUD masih terbatas. Tantangan implementasi meliputi kesiapan guru, perlindungan privasi data, bias algoritma, dan kesenjangan akses teknologi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa AI berpotensi memperkuat pembelajaran bahasa Inggris pada anak usia dini apabila diterapkan secara tepat, berpusat pada anak, dan didukung oleh mediasi guru sebagai bagian penting dari proses pembelajaran.
