Abstract
As AI technologies like natural language processing and machine/deep learning become increasingly sophisticated, they offer unprecedented opportunities for personalized, accessible, and engaging language learning/teaching experiences. From AI-driven platforms that adapt to each learner’s unique pace to conversational agents that provide real-time practice and feedback, this talk will investigate the current state of AI applications in language education and their affordances for learners and teachers. It will then address the challenges and ethical considerations inherent in integrating AI technologies, such as data privacy, bias, and the essential role of human agency and supervision. Looking forward,the audience will be invited to speculate on future AI advancements. The talk will conclude with a discussion of collaborative research opportunities between teachers using AI and researchers, to empirically understand the adoption and impact of AI in language education.
