The Journal of Studies in Language, Culture, and Society (JSLCS) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, free-of-charge, open-access, and multidisciplinary journal that is published two times a year and edited by the University of Bejaia, class B category.

Special Issue: AI in Education / (Dis)embodied interActIons

This special issue follows the conference AI in Education / (Dis)embodied interActIons, held at the Université Paris Nanterre in October 2024. Guided by the same major questions on AI in education, this special issue aims to bring together research from various perspectives analyzing how this technology impacts language learning. We invite submissions that address the following questions:

Subtheme 1: AI & Language Teaching

New ways of doing and thinking can become the basis for new habits, attitudes, and routines. Some critical educationalists such as Freire (1972) and more recent activity theorists such as Engeström et al. (1996) emphasized the role of learning in developing current interactive activities. Activity-level learning can be understood as creating and realizing an imagined future (Tuomi, 2018). This concept provides insight into understanding artificial intelligence and its potential impact on human activities. When AI enters social and professional development practices, it can enhance and complement them, increasing efficiency and effectiveness.

Given the potential value of integrating AI applications into the classroom and their benefits for skills-based education, we welcome all reflections and suggestions from researchers on the use of AI applications, including automatic assessment systems, neural machine translation tools, intelligent teaching systems (ITS), intelligent chatbots, intelligent virtual environments, machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and affective computing (AC) in reshaping teaching and learning. These AI tools are widely used in the foreign language teaching context, with profound impact (Jiang, 2022). Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, video conferencing tools and learning management systems supported by AI technologies were widely implemented in online language learning, a trend that continues today (Layali & AL-Shlowiy, 2020; Qazi et al., 2024).

Subtheme 2: AI & Language Learning

AI has revolutionized how students approach language learning, and the technology is constantly evolving. For years now, research has shown that students have been using AI for translation, improving their L2 grammatical accuracy, and developing speaking and communicative skills skills (Dodigovic, 2007; Kannan & Munday, 2018; Lewis Johnson, 2010; Wang, 2023). While some fear that students will become too dependent on AI, studies suggest that AI can actually increase learner autonomy and make them more independent, particularly when it comes to correcting errors (Harisitiani, 2019; Kannan & Munday, 2018). Furthermore, this technology may have a positive impact on self-confidence and reduce L2 anxiety, as learners find it easier and less stressful to practice with chatbots instead of people (Fryer & Carpenter, 2006; Harisitiani, 2019). For this subtheme, we invite papers that address students’ use of AI technologies, the impact of AI on language acquisition, contexts and motivations for AI use, the effect AI on learner autonomy, AI use and socialization, AI and the development of communication skills, AI use across cultures, and the relationship between AI use and the learner’s cognitive-affective states.

Subtheme 3: AI, Institutions & Policies

Teachers and students are at the frontline of AI growth in academia; students have been using online editors and translators in their language courses for years, while teachers assume the responsibility of guiding them in proper use. As a result, governments and institutions are having to play catch-up to create policies that respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by this new technology (Gwagwa et al,, 2020). The expected advantages are numerous; AI has been shown to predict learner achievement, compensate for the shortcomings of the traditional classroom, and reduce teachers’ workload (Buddhima Sandaruwani Keerthiwansha 2018; Chaudry & Kazim, 2022). Other factors, such as the currently high cost and relatively advanced technical know-how required to use new technology, need to be anticipated (Hwang & Chien, 2022; Tanveer et al., 2020). Furthermore, a deeper discussion about ethics in relation to AI is needed (Bakiner, 2022). The most obvious concern is academic integrity, as cheating becomes increasingly difficult to detect (Abd-Elaal et al., 2019; Rogerson, 2020). Instructors, too, can be faced with ethical concerns; with AI being able to predict student achievement, there is a risk that such predictions impact treatment and future evaluations (Chaudry & Kazim, idem). We welcome contributions that analyze the implementation of AI policies in academic settings, ethical concerns surrounding AI in the classroom, and the large-scale use of AI in syllabi or curricula.
