Abstract:

The volume titled ‘Language and AI in Asia’, co-edited by Jieun Kiaer,
Ju Seong Lee and Mohini Gupta, aims to explore the intersection of
language education and technology, with a specific focus on the
advancements and challenges posed by Large Language Models (LLMs) such
as ChatGPT. As LLMs rapidly advance, they present methodological,
philosophical, and pedagogical implications for language education
globally (Kiaer & Lee, 2023; Mishra et al., 2023). However, this
volume aims to particularly shed light on the unique context of Asia,
bringing together scholars from diverse regions including South East
Asia and South Asia.
The primary focus of this volume is to examine the role of technology,
particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), in language education
within the Asian context. The book includes contributions that explore
how AI technologies, including LLMs like ChatGPT, are shaping language
learning environments, pedagogical practices, and educational policies
across Asia. The chapters cover themes ranging from sociolinguistics
and technology; technology and language pedagogies; innovative
approaches in learning; language preservation and revitalisation; and
the future of digital education.
The purpose of this book is twofold. Firstly, it aims to provide a
platform for scholars to critically engage with the intersection of
language education and AI technologies in the Asian context. Secondly,
it seeks to address the underrepresentation of Asian perspectives in
the discourse surrounding language and AI, thereby countering the
dominant Eurocentric narrative prevalent in the field.
This volume will complement existing literature by offering insights
into the specific challenges and possibilities posed by AI
technologies for language education in Asia. By focusing on diverse
regional perspectives and addressing the underrepresentation of Asian
voices in the discourse, it will enrich the existing body of
literature and contribute to a more inclusive and comprehensive
understanding of the topic.
