AI As A Collaborative Partner In Language Learning

In the demanding world of teaching, where schedules overflow and responsibilities seem endless, educators consistently voice the desire for more time to refine their skills, all in pursuit of delivering impactful learning experiences to their students. According to a survey conducted by the EdWeek Research Center (2022), “the typical teacher works 54 hours per week, 25 hours of which is spent teaching students.” While the number of hours in the day isn’t exactly something that can be changed, the key lies in making processes more efficient, thus enabling educators to allocate valuable time toward refining their teaching methods and crafting those learning experiences that spark curiosity and empower learners to explore the world around them.

Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI is poised to play a pivotal role in revolutionizing the way teachers approach the many tasks that come with the title. In a 2023 Edutopia article, Rachelle Dené Poth details how AI can help, explaining that, “through AI-powered platforms, teachers are able to create lessons, activities, assessments, prompts for discussion, and presentations simply by providing a short prompt with keywords.” With potential for this kind of support, AI may very well serve as an invaluable assistant to teachers by not only saving teachers precious time but also enhancing the quality of lessons.
