One of the first volumes to focus specifically on AI in foreign language education through a multilingual and human-centred lens
This edited volume explores the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, in foreign language education.
Bringing together classroom-based studies from secondary, tertiary, and teacher education contexts, it examines how AI is being used to support language learning, writing development, feedback, classroom interaction, and reflective practice. The volume focuses on how teachers and learners are incorporating AI tools into language teaching and learning.
Topics include AI literacy, prompting practices, multilingual learning environments, mediation, and the practical and ethical questions that arise when AI becomes part of teaching and learning. A distinctive feature of the book is its emphasis on classroom practice.
Alongside conceptual and empirical contributions, authors provide teaching activities and examples drawn from their own work with learners and teachers. The result is a collection that offers both critical perspectives on AI and practical guidance for language educators working in increasingly technology-rich environments.
Georgios Neokleous is Professor of English in the Department of Teacher Education at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology where he works with both pre- and in-service teachers of English.
Joana Duarte is Professor of Educational Sciences at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, where she heads the Teacher Education department.
