Language education is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. The proposed edited volume, titled "Advancements in Language Learning and Teaching through Artificial Intelligence Tools," aims to explore AI's transformative impact on language education comprehensively. This book seeks to serve as a repository of cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and best practices at the intersection of language learning and AI technology.

The scope of this volume encompasses a wide array of themes within the context of language education, including but not limited to AI-enhanced language learning platforms, Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, virtual and augmented reality in language teaching, adaptive learning systems, conversational agents and chatbots, gamification strategies, AI-driven assessment tools, and ethical considerations in the use of AI for language instruction. 

The book aims to provide a holistic view of the field's current landscape and future possibilities by encompassing diverse perspectives and topics.

Contributors are encouraged to delve into the practical applications of AI in language  education, exploring both successes and challenges. We envision a compilation that showcases theoretical frameworks and offers tangible insights into how educators and
researchers navigate the integration of AI tools into language classrooms. 

The objective is to bridge the gap between theoretical discussions and real-world implementations, fostering a dialogue that informs and shapes the future of language learning.

CFP: #Crises, #Challenges and #Post-Pandemic #Prospects in #Teaching #Languages for Specific and #Academic #Purposes-Special Issue 4/2024 Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai Philologia

Special issue information: 

This special issue focuses on Languages for Specific Purposes and welcomes papers taking a research, pedagogical or theoretical perspective on the topic.  

Language for specific purposes (LSP) is an approach to language education based on identifying the specific language features, discourse practices, and communicative skills of target academic groups, and which recognizes the subject-matter needs and expertise of learners.  It sees itself as sensitive to contexts of discourse and action and seeks to develop research-based pedagogies to assist study, research or publication in English.  It requires teachers to identify the diversity of disciplinary languages used in the workplace or academy and encourage students to engage analytically with target discourses and develop a critical understanding of the contexts in which they are used. This is probably the most widely adopted approach to language instruction in higher education today, involving thousands of teachers and students across the world.  

Students now take a broader and more heterogeneous mix of academic subjects, some of which involve modular or joint degrees and emergent ‘practice-based’ courses such as nursing, management and social work. Further, they now have to deal with a broad range of modalities and presentational forms beyond written texts, and must learn to negotiate a complex web of disciplinary specific text-types, assessment tasks and presentational modes in order first to graduate, and then to operate effectively in the workplace.  

 

This special issue of Studia addresses research on LSP or the application of understandings from it in the classroom. We are not only interested in empirical research but also classroom practices, and theoretical discussions. A point of central importance is that each chapter is directly about specific language instruction, either using English or another language. We are aware that LSP instruction occurs in a wide range of settings, is aimed at learners with various backgrounds (immigrant, foreign language, 3rd language, etc.), operates in various contexts (e.g., genre-based pedagogy, teaching for general or specific academic/occupational purposes), focuses on different modalities (print-based, digital, multimodal, oral), and encompasses a host of teacher activities (e.g., syllabus design, materials development, instructional delivery, provision of feedback, assessment). We are interested in papers covering any topical aspects in these diverse academic contexts.  

 

Manuscript submission information: 

You are invited to submit your manuscript at any time before the submission deadline.  

In this Special Issue we are interested in publishing both full-length articles (6000-7000 words including references) and shorter reports on teaching or classroom practices (2500 -3000 words). All submissions should be in English and relate to the topic of the Special Issue. 

Please include the following with your submission: 

● Name(s) of author(s), institutional affiliation and bionote  

• Type of submission
