New Ways of Teaching and Learning

AI language learning models can enable new pedagogical approaches and learning experiences that are more interactive, engaging, and collaborative.

AI-powered applications can create realistic simulations, scenarios, and games that allow students to practice their skills and knowledge in authentic contexts (for more, read Chen's article, "AI Will Transform Teaching and Learning. Let’s Get it Right.")
AI language learning models can also facilitate peer-to-peer learning by connecting students with similar interests or goals (see acua.org's Preparing for the Future: The Impact of AI on Higher Education")
AI language learning models can foster creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking by generating novel and diverse texts that challenge students to explore different perspectives and possibilities (see "Exploring the Impacts of Generative AI on the Future of Teaching and Learning", by Ha, et al.).
