Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) is radically transforming language
education. This webinar presents scenarios for how the future of
language education may take shape in the era of AI, drawing on the
multiple futures framework. It examines five critical areas with
significant impact: the automation of processes, the rise of
self-paced learning, the replacement of humans by robots, the
displacement of teaching jobs, and the evolution of pronunciation
teaching and learning. The webinar concludes with a practical roadmap
for institutions and educators, offering specific recommendations for
the responsible integration of AI into language education.
Attendance is free, and all attendees will receive certificates of
participation.
