AI in Language Learning and Teaching through the Magnifying Glass
(Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, 2024-04-28) CODREANU Florina
The present scene of AI development is more than ever polarized by two fundamental sides: pessimistic and gloomy on the one hand, though hopeful and enthusiastic on the other hand. ELT practitioners and professionals tend to favour the latter attitude and bring the current situation to their own advantage. In the recent years AI in language teaching and learning has conquered a few areas that before seemed reserved to teachers only. The impact is considered huge and the benefits undeniable. AI progress through the magnifying glass shows the researcher many opportunities and innovations, but also plenty of risks and even more limitations. The fore article follows, both narratively and critically, the dazzling encounter between AI tools and the ample field of teaching and learning foreign languages, especially English language. The meeting is not novel at all, nor the worrisome questions arisen along. However, a closer approach may cast some fresh light on this contradictory, still evolving matter of AI technology behind the process of teaching and learning.
