Objectives

Primary objective

Facilitate the conscious integration of artificial intelligence into language teaching by providing educators with practical skills and supporting students in developing sound AI literacy to enhance language learning

Specific outcomes

Foster Collaboration

This outcome aims to establish a hybrid educational model where artificial intelligence supports, rather than replaces, human educators. Its goal is to combine the efficiency of technology with the in-depth understanding and pedagogical skills that human instructors uniquely provide.

Ensure Ethical Use of AI

This outcome focuses on addressing the ethical considerations associated with AI systems, particularly concerning data privacy and potential biases. The objective is to promote the responsible and conscious use of AI tools within educational settings.

Enhance Learning Outcomes

This outcome involves developing guidelines for integrating AI tools to supplement traditional language instruction. It seeks to ensure that students benefit from both advanced technological capabilities and the essential expertise of human educators in their learning process.

Promote Critical Thinking

This outcome encourages students to critically assess AI-generated translations. Its aim is to help students understand the significant role of cultural context in language learning, fostering a deeper and more nuanced linguistic comprehension.

Educate Educators

This outcome is dedicated to training teachers on how to effectively incorporate AI tools into their language teaching methodologies. The objective is to ensure that educators are not only proficient in using these tools but also fully aware of their inherent limitations.

Expected Results

One report about the methodological framework on the AI-supported language teaching and learning
One report about the ethical use of AI tools
One report about the AI-based software applied to translation and interpreting
A web catalogue with at least 25 software useful for translations and foreign language learning
An online training course for foreign language teachers
