Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Language Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly influential tool in language education. Digital platforms powered by AI can instantly provide personalized feedback, adapt learning paths according to students' performance, and offer opportunities for authentic interaction through virtual assistants and conversational chatbots. Such innovations have expanded access to language learning beyond the classroom and have encouraged greater learner autonomy.
However, educational researchers emphasize that technological innovation alone does not guarantee meaningful learning. They argue that language acquisition remains fundamentally a social process, requiring interaction, negotiation of meaning, collaboration, and critical reflection. Therefore, AI should not replace teachers but rather complement pedagogical practices, allowing educators to dedicate more time to mediating learning, fostering intercultural awareness, and promoting communicative competence.
Furthermore, concerns have emerged regarding algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the reliability of automatically generated content. For this reason, schools are increasingly expected to develop students' digital literacy so that they can critically evaluate online information, recognize the limitations of artificial intelligence, and use technological resources ethically and responsibly.
In this context, effective language teaching involves balancing technological innovation with human interaction, ensuring that digital resources enhance—not replace—the educational relationship established between teachers and learners.

Delapidated Hotel: a painful reminder of Celtic Tiger era
The Bettystown Court Hotel stands today as a haunting monument to Ireland's Celtic Tiger era, a symbol of grand ambition followed by a swift and painful economic collapse.
The hotel opened its doors in the summ er of 2006, representing the crown jewel of the €143 million Bettystown Town Centre development. Built by the Brennan Hotel Group, led by developer Brian Brennan, the 120-room facility was designed to be a premier four-star destination. At its peak, the Brennan Group was a major player in the Irish hospitality sector, managing sister properties including the Springhill Court in Kilkenny, the Arklow Bay in Wicklow, and the Clonmel park in Tipperary.
The vision for the site was transformative. It was intended to turn the Bettystown coastal village into a modern urban hub, complete with a massive shopping complex, nearly 200 apartments, and luxury leisure amenities including a full-sized swimming pool and spa. For a brief period, the hotel was a bustling centre for local weddings, conferences, and tourism.
However, the timing proved fatal. As the global financial crisis hit in 2008, the Irish property bubble burst, and the hospitality sector was among the hardest hit. By 2011, the Bettystown Court Hotel was forced to cease trading. While parts of the wider town centre development-such as the Tesco anchor store and various apartments-remained occupied, the hotel itself was shuttered and left to the elements.
In the 16 years since it fell silent, the building has become a "ghost hotel." It has passed through various receivership processes and has been the subject of numerous "sale agreed" reports that never quite reached completion.

Read the statements below and mark them as True (T) or False (F) according to the passage:
( ) The Bettystown Court Hotel was presented as the flagship project of the €143 million Bettystown Town Centre development.
( ) After the hotel closed, the entire town centre development, including the Tesco store and apartments, was abandoned.
( ) The global financial crisis and the collapse of the Irish property bubble contributed to the hotel's closure.
( ) The hotel has remained in continuous operation since 201 1 under diÍÍerent owners.
( ) Over the years, the hotel has become known as a "ghost hotel" after repeated sale agreements failed to reach completion.
