What is the potential for AI to assist us in learning languages? Could AI-based chatbots offer us a new way to practise and improve our linguistic skills?
Assoc Prof Blanka Klímová, part of the COST Action Language in the Human-Machine Era (LITHME) and leader of the Working Group ‘Language learning and teaching’ was interviewed by BBC on her most recent research in the field. She explains how AI chatbots are helpful for vocabulary development, grammar and other language skills, especially when they offer corrective feedback.
