Artificial intelligence for language learning and teaching: A narrative literature study

The purpose of this study was to examine teachers' beliefs, the factors that influence theuse of AI tools, and the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and threats of artificialintelligence in language learning and teaching. To accomplish this, the study used anarrative literature review and ATLAS.ti 9 to analyze the data. The results of the studyshowed that teachers believed that Artificial Intelligence in Language Learning andTeaching (AILLT) included assessing student needs, developing appropriate learningresources, promoting collaboration among resources, providing real-time assessmenttools to improve the educational process, and increasing teaching efficiency andeffectiveness. Second, AI tools for writing tools, including Paperpal, Quillbot, Jenni AI,ChatGPT, Elicit, as well as in applications to improve speaking skills, such as Speeko andVocaroo, and "Siri and Say It" for listening and pronunciation skills. Third, factors thatmay influence students' use of AI-based language learning tools include adaptability,engagement, motivation, autonomy, immediate or direct feedback, accessibility andinclusivity, and teacher and parent support. This research found that AI enhancesaccessibility, adaptability, personalization, and immediate feedback, but it also haslimitations, such as dependence on technology, inadequate human interaction, limitedcontextual understanding, and algorithmic biases. In addition, AILLT faces potentialthreats such as quality control, privacy concerns, and job or task displacement. Narrativeliterature studies provide theoretical insights, and it is expected that future studies atdifferent levels of language learning will incorporate empirical evidence fromexperimental and case study-based research (PDF) Artificial intelligence for language learning and teaching: A narrative literature study.
