AI for language education
This 4-year project explores effective and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
technology in language education for both learners and teachers. It investigates how AI
tools can help teachers plan lessons, design materials, and conduct formative
assessment in order to enable learners to utilise AI responsibly for higher-quality,
autonomous language learning.
Newly available AI systems and technologies are seen as full of promise by some and a major
threat by others. This project proposes to sift through some of the mounting hype and
scepticism by exploring practical ways in which emerging AI tools and resources can be
effectively implemented by both language learners and teachers, thereby encouraging their
responsible and ethical use.
In collaboration with language teachers and teacher educators we aim to deepen our
understanding of how AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) can support language teaching and learning
both in formal and informal settings.
Quality aspects of potentially pedagogically useful applications for learners (e.g. editing and
revising written production, comprehension checking, communication training, grammar
practice, vocabulary development) will be highlighted. The project also aims to look at ways in
which AI can be used to raise ethical awareness of and manage sensitive issues such as
plagiarism and cheating.
