HISTORY OF AI
How AI can help language learning
the bright side
Fernando PereiraComputer scienctist and researcher at Google AI
""Advances in AI are transforming language learning tools, enabling more interactive and personalized experiences that cater to the needs of diverse learners."
Michel-Villareal et al. (2023)
- Support for Instructors and Teaching Assistants
- Innovative Learning Experiences
- Research and Data Analysis
- 24/7 Support and Accessibility
- Personalized Learning and Tutoring
- Supplemental Learning Resource
- Language Learning and Communication Skills
some opportunities
- Aid for fulfilling individual needs and watching group diversity by creating tailored activities to enhance specific skills.
- Valuable tool for saving time and alleviating workload by creating materials, activities, assessments and lesson plans with the help of AI.
practical applications
How AI can shape language learning
the dark side
David CrystalLinguist and author
"While AI can provide valuable tools for language learners, it should not overshadow the importance of social interaction and cultural context in language acquisition."
Rasul, T. et al (2023)
- Evaluate graduate skill sets.
- Assessing students’ learning outcomes
- Ethical and equity considerations.
- Maintaining academic integrity.
- Potential bias and falsified information in information processing.
some challenges
- Ethical concerns around AI's environmental impact through the immense computing power required to run models.
- Difficulty for professionals to keep up with the swift pace in the development of Generative AI and LLM and their capabilities..
other challenges
Misuse of AI tools in HE
the real life
What do you think some students will use AI for?
- Generative AI models can produce human-like text, audio, images and other multimedia outputs by drawing from massive datasets to generate contextual responses to user prompts in a conversational manner.

How can we prevent misuse
changes for a better future
- Openly talk to students about the use of AI in their learning.
approach directly
- Enquire them about potential misuses of AI.
- Debate about possible solutions.
- Create with students a brief list of basic rules for use of AI.
- Discuss in your groups the use of AI.
- Ask them about the different apps/tools they use.
- Learn how/what for students use AI.
direct approach
- Point students to the right direction in getting familiar with the institution policy regarding AI
university policy

- Explain the concept of pragmatics: tone, intention, ambiguity, non-verbal communication,... related to limitations presented by generative AI.
- Emphasise the idea of the cultural value and humanity of learning a language from a human instructor.
- Stress the importance of context for meaning and comprehension.
other approaches
Teach them different ways they can use AI that can help their learning.

activities
ChatGPT provides a sentence in the target language, and the learner must replace one of the words with a suitable synonym. This game can help expand vocabulary and improve understanding of word relationships.
synonym swap
ChatGPT thinks of a word, and the language learner must guess what it is by asking questions. ChatGPT can only answer with words that don't directly relate to the target word. This encourages the learner to think critically and ask questions in their target language.
