Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly common tool in our daily lives, and language education is no exception. The use of AI in language teaching and learning has grown in various modalities. AI can be a valuable resource for language educators and learners.


Chatbots provide a valuable opportunity to practice conversations in a controlled and safe environment. Grammar correction systems provide instant feedback on grammatical or spelling errors. AI also helps to personalize the learning experience. However, students can become too dependent on technology, losing the ability to think critically or communicate effectively without it.


AI can perpetuate stereotypes and biases, as many natural language processing systems are based on historical data that reflect cultural and linguistic inequalities. It is crucial for language educators to consider how to integrate AI into language teaching responsibly and effectively.


Teachers must maintain a central role in guiding and supporting students. They also need to be critical of the use of AI and teach their students to be so as well. Furthermore, they must work to ensure that AI does not perpetuate stereotypes or biases.


AI presents significant challenges in language teaching and learning, so teachers must prepare, adapt, and acquire new skills to manage it effectively and beneficially for both their students and their own well-being. AI also allows teachers to be more efficient and effective in their work.


Additional ideas for using AI in language teaching:

  • Voice analysis: AI systems can analyze students' pronunciation and intonation, providing instant feedback.

  • Content generation: AI can create online educational content, such as texts and videos, to facilitate learning grammar and vocabulary in relevant contexts.

  • Real-time assistance: Chatbots can be programmed to answer questions and provide real-time support during classes.

AI is a valuable tool for language teaching and learning, but it is essential to use it responsibly and effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in guiding students and ensuring they do not become too dependent on technology. Teachers must prepare, adapt, and acquire new skills to manage AI effectively and beneficially for both their students and their own well-being.
