Meeting Description:

Creative Multilingualism, in collaboration with the Joint National Committee
for Languages, welcomes you to the University of Pittsburgh for the
international workshop, Artificial Intelligence in the World of Languages.
 
Digital advances are revolutionizing our linguistic landscape, our
possibilities for communication, the interaction between languages, and our
very identities.  Language apps and other forms of language automation are
increasingly impacting on language teaching, language learning, and learner
motivation.  Conversely, leaders in artificial intelligence are increasingly
relying upon linguists and modern linguists to solve new and complex
communication problems in digital contexts. 
 
Bringing together researchers, educators, learners, and leaders in tech and
AI, this one-day workshop will explore the increasing involvement of AI in the
world of languages.  
 
The Workshop will include discussion of the following topics:

- How can artificial intelligence (AI) support language learning and teaching
in schools, community/supplementary schools and independent contexts?
- How can AI support motivation in language learning?
- How does AI open up the world of careers for language learners?
 
The Workshop will also serve as an opportunity to share and engage with the
diverse expertise and experiences of the research, education, and tech
sectors.


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for presentations (15 minutes' duration, plus 10 minutes'
discussion) from researchers and professionals working in the field addressing
one of the following questions:

- How can artificial intelligence (AI) support language learning and teaching
in schools, community/supplementary schools and independent contexts?
- How can AI support motivation in language learning?
- How does AI open up the world of careers for language learners?

Abstracts should be a maximum of 250 words long and accompanied by a short
title and up to 75 words of bio information. They should be emailed to
creativeml at mod-langs.ox.ac.uk by 5pm EDT on Monday May 27. 

Call for Roundtable Participation:

1. ‘How can AI support Language Learning? Views from the Classroom’
We are seeking language teachers from Higher Education, schools and
supplementary/ community schools to join this roundtable discussion. 
​
2. ‘How does AI Open Up the World of Careers for Linguists?
We are seeking professionals working in the field of languages with experience
of AI.
​
You will present your ideas on the topic for up to 3 minutes, and then take
part in a discussion including audience Q&A. If you are interested in
participating, please email creativeml at mod-langs.ox.ac.uk with up to 250 words
on your interest and experience in this area by 5pm EDT time on Monday May 27.
​
The workshop fee will be waived for invited speakers and roundtable
participants. A small number of travel bursaries, up to a maximum of £600,
will be available for invited speakers and roundtable participants. Please
email creativeml at mod-langs.ox.ac.uk to request a travel bursary application
form and submit this alongside your application.
