Study Area

For language teachers, one of the toughest parts of teaching is being able to quickly find the right content for the students, depending on their needs and level. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), that’s now possible! Let’s take a look at how teachers can use AI for language learning and how it can benefit their students.

With the rise of artificial intelligence in the education and learning fields come worries. What if artificial intelligence steals the teacher’s jobs? What if language students decide that they only want to learn through language apps? Well, at Global Lingua, we think that artificial intelligence tools can benefit both students and teachers, and can become a great ally in the learning process.

Artificial intelligence won’t replace teachers. It will only help them prepare their lessons quicker and find great personalized content.

Using AI For Personalized Content

Do you know how AI can help teachers? By providing personalized content tailored specifically to each student’s individual needs and interests ! By using natural language processing (NLP) technology, teachers can create unique lesson plans that cover topics such as grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening skills, and more.

NLP technology also allows teachers to craft activities that are tailored specifically to each student’s level of proficiency in a particular area of study. A student needs to learn adequate business vocabulary ahead of a job interview? Use AI tools to create a lesson focused on business English. As a teacher, you’ll save some precious time, and it makes it easier for students to stay engaged in the learning process and encourages them to be more active participants in the classroom.

Using AI to Work on Weak Spots

Language teachers can also use AI to help students work on their weak spots! Some language learning platforms incorporate AI capabilities to personalize the learning experience. For example, AI can track a student's progress and identify areas where they struggle, then provide targeted exercises or content to help them improve. These tools can provide immediate feedback to the student or the teacher, allowing them to see their mistakes and work on correcting them in real time.

Artificial intelligence can also be used to provide students with personalized learning recommendations based on their individual learning style and preferences. This can help students focus on areas that they find challenging, while also keeping them engaged and motivated. For example, if the language platform realizes you took plenty of grammar exercises but didn’t study vocabulary, it will recommend some vocabulary lists to memorize.

Thanks to AI targeted support, combined with the teacher’s experience, the learning process can be more effective and benefit the student!

AI-Powered Learning Tools

Not convinced that artificial intelligence can help teachers with language lessons? Here are some AI tools that teachers or language students can use in complement of language lessons.

Speech Analyzer

One of the most exciting ways to use AI is through AI-powered tools like chatbots and voice recognition software. With these tools, students can practice speaking their target language with an AI-powered virtual teacher. This way, they can get feedback on pronunciation and tone without having to wait for their teacher’s response.

For example, try: ELSA Speech Analyzer

Translation Services

AI-enabled translation services are also becoming increasingly popular among language learners. These services allow students to easily translate text from one language to another in real time, providing them with instant feedback on their progress. Obviously, students should not use these tools for translation homework, but it can be useful during a lesson, for example to see how changing one single word can transform the understanding of a sentence.

For example, try: Google Translate, DeepL

Language learning apps

Language learning apps have been able to revolutionize the way people learn languages by using AI technology. AI algorithms allow these apps to offer personalized learning plans and recommendations.

One major advantage of AI-powered language apps is that they can adapt to the learner's level and learning style. For example, if a learner struggles with vocabulary, the app can provide more opportunities to practice using flashcards and quizzes. Language apps can also provide real-time feedback to students. By analyzing their performance, the app can provide immediate feedback on grammar, spelling, pronunciation and more, allowing learners to correct mistakes and improve their language skills with minimal delay.

For example, try: Babbel

Artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities for teachers looking to level up their student's language learning experience. From personalized content tailored specifically for each individual learner's needs and interests, to AI-powered tools such as chatbots and voice recognition software that give instant feedback on pronunciation—the opportunities are endless! With the help of AI technologies, teachers can save time while creating engaging lessons.
