Abstract:

This book explores principled approaches to integrating Generative
Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into language learning and teaching.
It examines the features of learner-AI interaction, the affordances of
GenAI, and key principles that guide its use in language education.
Drawing on second language acquisition theories and teaching
methodologies, the book investigates how GenAI can support the
development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, as well as
task-based language teaching.
Illustrated through concrete prompting activities, Using Artificial
Intelligence in Language Education translates theory and research into
practical pedagogy for meaningful AI-mediated language learning. It
empowers teachers to use GenAI confidently and to help learners engage
in purposeful learning experiences.
Filling a critical gap by offering language learners and teachers
principled guidance and practical examples, this is also an
indispensable source of ideas for learners and teachers to develop
their own applications.
