Insights into AI and Language Teaching and Learning

Language educators often have varied levels of comfort and expertise with emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI). This creates a pedagogical gap that must be filled to ensure that educators can make informed choices about the technologies they integrate into their classrooms. The primary aim of "Insights into AI and Language Teaching" is to function as a comprehensive training guide for language educators interested in incorporating AI technologies into their teaching practice for foreign/second language education across a variety of language contexts-not just English as a Foreign Language (EFL), but also for the teaching of other foreign languages. This book aims to act as a bridge, guiding teachers from a basic understanding of AI to a level where they can confidently employ it as part of their teaching toolbox. As teachers have a long-lasting impact on how students view learning, adopt new technologies, and even how they perceive themselves, this book will, therefore, focus not only on technology but also on how teachers can be empowered to use AI in a way that enhances their influence and the positive impact they can have on their students.
