The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching represents a pedagogical paradigm shift. This research analyzes the influence of Gemini-AI on the development of speaking skills in 15 A2-level students at the Instituto Universitario Sucre. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive scope, observation instruments were employed to assess student perceptions and the tool's technical impact. The theoretical framework is based on language acquisition through comprehensible input and simulated immersion environments. The results indicate that, after 30 days of intermittent use, participants increased their speaking performance by 10% compared to their baseline. The AI was identified as an effective scaffolding resource, immediately detecting gaps in vocabulary, grammar, and collocations. The main conclusion highlights that the non-punitive nature of the interaction with the AI functions as a "communicative warm-up" that significantly reduces language anxiety. The adoption of Gemini-AI is recommended as a robust and ethical educational resource capable of fostering effective knowledge transfer in contemporary educational settings.
