Meeting Description:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an essential part of modern
educational systems because of its potential to enhance teaching
methods, customize learning experiences, and streamline administrative
tasks. It is actively addressing key challenges in education, such as
transforming teaching methods and supporting the achievement of United
Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 4 which talks of ensuring
inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong
learning opportunities for all. AI-powered tools and technologies are
being used to create more engaging and immersive learning experiences,
personalize learning for students at all levels, and provide immediate
feedback. Research shows that AI has the potential to revolutionize
the way languages are taught and learned, helping students learn
languages more effectively (Hockly 2023). That said, AI-based edtech
is likely to pose challenges and threats of its own. While the rise of
AI-powered instruments has certainly opened up new horizons in all
human activity, including SLA and FLL/T, it has also raised many
questions of ethical nature. The discussion about possible threats
that AI-driven technologies pose in the context of education pivots
around several key areas, such as data privacy (collecting learner
data, surveillance), academic dishonesty (authorship attribution,
plagiarism), inclusivity (equity of access, digital literacy) and
learner/teacher wellbeing (overdependence on apps, need for human
interaction).

Some of the possible topics for presentation include the following:
 · AI-driven language learning and teaching
 · Potential applicability of AI-based edtech
 · Teacher and student roles in AI
 · Assessment and evaluation with the use of AI
 · AI’s role in motivation and engagement
 · The interplay between AI tools and traditional teaching
methodologies
 · AI-enhanced collaborative learning
 · Natural Language Processing (NLP)
 · Speech recognition and pronunciation feedback
 · Adaptive learning platforms
 · Virtual Reality (VR) and AI integration
 · Ethical concerns and data privacy
 · Challenges/threats of AI

Please do not hesitate to submit your proposal even if it does not fit
the leading theme of the conference. The choice of the topic to be
presented, as long as it relates to SLA or FL learning and teaching,
is no obstacle to its acceptance as a presentation. Proposals for
original and previously unpublished papers (20 minutes for the
presentation and 10 minutes for questions), workshops (45 minutes), or
posters are welcome for presentation at the conference. Not just those
wishing to contribute papers but also those wanting to attend the
plenary talks and presentations are warmly invited to participate in
the conference.

We are happy to announce that the following scholars will present the
keynote talks at the 36th ICFSLA conference:
 · Christopher Alexander (University of Nicosia, Cyprus)
 · Gessica De Angelis (Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
Trondheim, Norway)
 · Marina Dodigović (University of Slavonski Brod, Croatia)
 · Robert Oliwa (State University of Applied Sciences, Poland)
 · Torben Schmidt (Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, Germany)
