Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning – call for
chapters
Editors: Weixiao Wei and Chris Shei
The Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning will explore
the transformative role of artificial intelligence in language
education, offering a critical and comprehensive analysis of how AI is
expected to reshape the ways languages are taught, learned, and
assessed.
Preliminarily divided into six thematic sections, the handbook will
bridge theory, research, and practice to establish AI-driven language
learning as a rigorous academic field. It is intended to serve as a
vital resource for researchers, educators, ed-tech developers,
policymakers, and postgraduate students.
The section and chapter titles listed below are intended as
illustrative examples. Contributors are invited to adopt similar
titles or propose new ones that reflect their individual research and
expertise. We particularly encourage exploration of world language
learning beyond, though not excluding, English.
