The Future of Foreign Language Teaching with Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Artificial intelligence, born from the idea of creating a structure similar to human intelligence, is rapidly changing social life and symbolizes the beginning of a new era in the world. The continuous renewal and development of artificial intelligence is making its impact felt in every aspect of social life, and is gaining increasing importance, especially in education and foreign language teaching. The fact that artificial intelligence is available everywhere and at any time, its storage capacity and information processing power, offers significant advantages in foreign language teaching, such as personalized learning, enabling authentic language use, realistic cultural transfer through simulations, process-oriented measurement and evaluation, reducing administrative workload, supporting the four basic language skills by appealing to different senses, and performing risk analysis. However, despite the development of translation technologies, the accuracy and reliability of artificial intelligence programs; the decrease in the natural language learning environment and the vitality of communication; dependence on artificial intelligence and the resulting weakening of mental abilities; and issues such as data privacy and inequality in education emerge as potential challenges.
