The relevance of the research is due to technological changes and the rapid development of digital artificial intelligence (AI) tools in teaching foreign languages. Digital didactics is becoming a reality and a necessity today, however, in the light of the global transition to digital tools, a revision of the content of some pedagogical tools is required, in particular, a revision of the content of such an instrument as an individual educational trajectory. Digital AI tools make it possible to personalize learning, however, consideration of the concept of personalization shows that it requires a high level of subjectivity development. The purpose of the study was to substantiate the need to re-examine the content and role of an individual educational trajectory in the context of digital didactics as an effective tool for the transition from individualization to personalization of learning. The study was based on the prerequisites of learner-centered approach in terms of e-learning. In the course of the research, an algorithm for individual work with digital artificial intelligence tools in English language teaching was developed and tested. The testing involved secondary school students in grades 9-11, undergraduate university students, and adults studying at a language school. The total number of participants was 119 people. The results of the study showed that despite the fact that 84% of students used AI for various purposes at the initial stage of the study, only 18% used AI to learn a foreign language, and after the conducted pedagogical experiment, this number rose to 93%. At the same time, the study revealed a correlation between the age of students and the difficulties they face when working with AI to learn a foreign language. The theoretical significance of the research lies in substantiating the need to review the content and role of an individual educational trajectory in the context of digital didactics as an effective tool for the transition from individualization to personalization of learning. The results of the study are significant in practice, because they can be used to further develop a more holistic methodology for teaching foreign languages using digital AI tools.
