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...

Encuesta a 116 docentes de lenguas extranjeras de centros griegos sobre su uso y su percepción de las herramientas de inteligencia artificial, con atención a cómo la instrucción diferenciada y el aula invertida pueden potenciarse con IA. Los resultados muestran actitudes positivas y un uso ya extendido para personalizar el aprendizaje según las capacidades de cada estudiante, con influencia significativa de la edad, los años de experiencia docente y la familiaridad con la IA. Los autores señalan como laguna que apenas se ha investigado cómo puede utilizarse la IA en entornos de aula invertida, y reclaman más formación del profesorado.

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are gaining increasing popularity in education. The proliferation of experimental studies has highlighted the need to summarize and synthesize the inconsistent findings about the effects of AI chatbots on students' learning outcomes. The present study performed a meta-analysis of 24 randomized studies. The main goal was to meta-analytically examine the effects of AI chatbots on students' learning outcomes and the moderating effects of educational levels and intervention duration. The results indicated that AI chatbots had a large effect on students' learning outcomes. Moreover, AI chatbots had a greater effect on students in...

As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) transforms language education, teacher educators are uniquely positioned to equip teachers with the skills to engage with artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Although AI offers opportunities for automating tasks and personalizing learning, educators must ensure these tools align with pedagogical integrity, equity, and social justice. This Teaching Issue article explores AI integration in TESOL teacher education using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) models. Through these frameworks, we show how TESOL teacher educators can...

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...

In exploring the interplay between artificial intelligence technologies and curriculum adaptation, this study bridges a significant gap by exploring how AI tools influence teachers' strategies for adapting curricula. Employing an explanatory sequential design, the research analyses qualitative and quantitative data from 440 teachers, using the Curriculum Adaptation Patterns Scale and focus group semi-structured interviews. Results indicate a balanced approach towards extending and revising the curriculum, with less emphasis on omission. Qualitatively, teachers reported positive experiences using AI, particularly ChatGPT, to make their lessons better fit students' needs: omitting parts...

This scoping review summarizes the empirical research on using chatbots to promote student motivation in learning. With a systematic analysis of 43 relevant studies published between 1966 and 2023, it addresses five aspects: underlying theories, motivational outcomes investigated, intervention designs, the relationship between chatbots and student motivation, and chatbot characteristics. Engagement, interest, and intrinsic motivation were the most investigated among 32 motivational variables. Overall, chatbot interactions positively correlated with student motivation, although sustained interest was related to prior human interactions. Chatbots generally outperformed non-chatbot conditions...

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.
