There are obvious benefits to integrating generative AI into language learning and teaching: using AI as a language tutor, creating learning materials, or assessing learner output. However, due to how AI systems understand human language —based on a mathematical model using statistical probability— they lack the lived experience to use language with the same social awareness as humans. Additionally, there are built-in linguistic and cultural biases based on training data which is mostly in English and predominantly from Western sources. Studies have clearly shown that systems such as ChatGPT often do not produce language that is pragmatically appropriate.

An analysis of academic citations and references generated by the ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot reveals the citations and references are in fact, fake. They are clearly generated by a predictive process rather than known facts. This suggests that early optimism regarding this technology for assisting in research could be misplaced, and that student misuse of the chatbot can be detected by the identification of fake citations and references. Despite these problems, the technology could have application in the writing of course materials for lower level undergraduate courses that do not necessarily require references. Subject matter expertise is required, however, to identify and remove incorrect information. The need to identify incorrect information provided by an AI chatbot is a skill that students...

This qualitative study, drawing on positioning analysis, examines four world language teachers' reported practices of integrating ChatGPT into their instruction. The participants were enrolled in the graduate-level Applied Linguistics or Spanish Language Teaching program at a public university in the southcentral US. This study addresses two research questions: (1) How did world language teachers position themselves and others in relation to their integration of ChatGPT into teaching? (2) What factors mediated their ChatGPT-supported instruction? The analyses of interview transcripts and weekly reports revealed that the world language teachers positioned themselves as active agents, assuming dynamic roles vis-à-vis ChatGPT (i.e., ChatGPT guide, explorer, manager, and ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of language learners and teachers in the use of ChatGPT during the language learning and teaching process. Phenomenological design, a type of qualitative research, was used. Participants were 8 English language learners and 3 English language teachers with teaching experience at different levels, selected through purposive sampling; the interview technique was used as the data collection instrument. The findings revealed that ChatGPT and AI were considered to be useful tools for language learning and teaching, although they presented some challenges that can be overcome with the advancement of technology.

Recent technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have paved the way for improved and in many cases the creation of entirely new and innovative, electronic writing tools. These writing support systems assist during and after the writing process making them indispensable to many writers in general and to students in particular who can get human-like sentence completion suggestions and text generation. Although the wide adoption of these tools by students has been faced with a steady growth of scientific publications in the field, the results of these studies are often contradictory and their validity may be questioned. To gain a deeper understanding of the validity of AI-powered writing...

Although use of machine translation (MT) technologies by learners may seem like a relatively new issue in foreign language (FL) education, researchers have been investigating connections between MT tools and FL teaching and learning for more than three decades, years before learners had access to free online services such as Google Translate. This literature review summarizes this rapidly expanding research domain both chronologically and thematically, identifying key concepts, insights, and findings and mapping them onto a framework inspired by questions commonly asked by both researchers and practitioners: How do learners use MT tools? What do instructors and learners think about MT? How...

Las autoras parten de una constatación: cuando se pregunta al alumnado de lenguas dónde practica la expresión oral fuera de clase, la respuesta habitual es «en ningún sitio». El artículo analiza esa carencia, especialmente aguda en la enseñanza en línea y en entornos distribuidos con dificultades de horarios y husos horarios, y expone las reflexiones pedagógicas que deberían guiar el diseño y desarrollo de herramientas de práctica oral basadas en inteligencia artificial, a partir de su experiencia desarrollando un asistente propio para cursos de alemán y francés.

Examines the effects of ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode on the development of university students' oral proficiency. Following a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the study measured improvement over an 8-week intervention and then gathered learners' perspectives through semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings showed that fluency and lexical resources increased significantly, but pronunciation did not. The qualitative data focus on three themes: the potential of AI for low-anxiety practice, learners' frustration with the lack of nuanced feedback on accent, and difficulties with real-time corrective functions. The authors propose a «Mixed Dialogical Model» combining...

Educators are increasingly using GenAI chatbots in language learning classrooms. However, without a guiding theoretical framework, GenAI use may emphasize technological capabilities while overlooking the instructional and social goals of the learning environment. In this systematic review, we draw on the usefulness framework from the field of computer-supported collaborative learning to examine 24 empirical studies on the use of GenAI chatbots in language learning classrooms published between 2022 and 2025. By tracing how educators are using GenAI chatbots in language learning classrooms, we identify (1) the technological, pedagogical, and social...
