Description

In today’s interconnected world, education needs to prepare students with essential skills like critical thinking, communication, and adaptability to navigate complexity. Indeed, the latest language learning approaches go beyond teaching a language and aim to provide students with holistic training—mind, heart, and body—preparing them for the demands of the future society.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools, like GPT and Gemini, are completely transforming education, making it more tailored and accessible, and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.
These powerful AI tools can personalize materials, provide feedback, and create engaging, customized experiences that address individual needs while boosting productivity. However, their use also involves certain risks, such as concerns about academic integrity, ethical implications, and reliability (Ciesla, 2024).
Therefore, despite its undeniable potential in optimizing the teaching and language learning process, both teachers and students should be equipped with the necessary digital skills to use these tools effectively. Only by doing this can AI truly become a powerful ally in transforming the overall learning experience and supporting its improvement.
