Yes, AI continues to transform language education by providing personalized, adaptive, and accessible learning experiences. The rapid evolution of AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok is indeed shaping new morphosyntactic patterns in language use. These tools are not only enhancing language learning but also influencing how we communicate and structure our sentences.

Absolutely! As someone who works in the field of AI (not a language instructor), current approaches in AI, especially with advances in natural language processing (NLP), have significantly enhanced language skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. AI-based tools like GPT-4 and other large language models excel at understanding, allowing for efficient summarization and extraction of information from large amounts of text. In writing, AI helps correct grammar, improve style, and even generate content, making it a valuable tool for writers, students, and professionals. For listening, AI-based speech recognition systems, such as those used in transcription services and virtual assistants, have improved the accuracy and real-time understanding of spoken language. Speaking skills are supported by AI through language learning apps, conversational agents, and real-time translation tools that help users practice pronunciation and engage in multilingual communication. These advances make language-related tasks more accessible, efficient, and personalized, although challenges such as bias, context understanding, and ethical concerns remain areas of ongoing research and development.

I would appreciate it if you would read my articles and recommend them to increase their visibility.

Hello. Apart from chatbots, the following AI-driven platforms are used intensively by lecturers (especially in secondary schools):

twee.com and diffit.me. Both platforms allow for the creation of teaching materials by inputting a topic or by pasting a youtube-video or the link of a web article. These platforms are useful for the reading, writing and listening skills. They also suggest some speaking activities (e.g., questions that students can ask each other). Alternatively, to improve speaking skills, Copilot now features the possibility to talk directly to the chatbot and receive feedback in audio form. The same goes for PI AI. The difference between the two is that Copilot can be used via a PC (and users must have a microsoft account to log on), whereas PI AI has developed an App which is to be downloaded to users' smartphones. In this way, users can have conversation (in English) with the chatbot and, perhaps, ask to be corrected when they make "mistakes".

The AI ‘alignment problem’ in language education and applied linguistics

A recurring theme in many conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) is what might be termed the alignment problem. This refers to the question of whether the AI systems we use, however powerful, actually reflect our (human) values, intentions, or needs. This is not a new idea, or one that uniquely associated with AI: it is exactly what we experience, in a simple form, whenever the autocomplete function produces something different from what we might have wanted. However, the stakes are higher now that generative AI systems are capable of producing fluent, persuasive, and sometimes authoritative-sounding text at scale...
