This paper presents an educational innovation project designed to enhance communicative competence in French as a Foreign Language (FLE) through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. Conducted between November 2024 and May 2025 at PrepaTec Campus Tampico, Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), the study involved 68 students aged 1618, enrolled in the Multicultural High School Program. These learners, coming from Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines, participated in FLE courses at levels 2, 4, and 5, corresponding to CEFR A1-B1. The project integrated applications such as ChatGPT, TecGPT, Hello History, Fliki, HeyGen, Suno, Piclumen, Hailou, and SkillStudio to strengthen oral and written production in digitally enriched learning environments. A mixed-methods approach was applied: quantitative data were obtained through pre- and post-tests (TCF and DELF-style simulations), while qualitative insights emerged from student feedback, audio/video productions, and teacher observations. Results indicate significant gains in fluency, pronunciation, argumentation, accuracy, and learner autonomy, with increased motivation and confidence. This study demonstrates that AI-enhanced environments can foster communicative competence in non-immersive contexts, offering replicable models for integrating emerging technologies into language education.
