Conventional augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems and language-learning platforms often fail to adapt in real time to the user's cognitive and linguistic needs, especially in neurological conditions such as post-stroke aphasia or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Recent advances in noninvasive electroencephalography (EEG)--based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and transformer--based large language models (LLMs) offer complementary strengths: BCIs capture users' neural intent with low fatigue, while LLMs generate contextually tailored language content. We propose and evaluate a novel hybrid framework that leverages real-time EEG signals to drive an LLM-powered language rehabilitation assistant. This system aims to: (1) enable users with severe speech or motor impairments to navigate language-learning modules via mental commands; (2) dynamically personalize vocabulary, sentence-construction exercises, and corrective feedback; and (3) monitor neural markers of cognitive effort to adjust task difficulty on the fly.
