Call for chapter proposals for an edited volume: Generative AI and the language Learner
|
Generative AI and the Language Learner asks a central question: How is generative AI changing the language learner?
For decades, many of our major ideas in second language acquisition and applied linguistics were developed in learning environments where students interacted with teachers, peers, texts, media, and mostly non-agentic tools. Generative AI changes that environment. It can now give feedback, simulate interaction, shape learner language, influence confidence, reduce or intensify anxiety, and even affect how learners see themselves as language users. The editors, Robert Dykes and Miguel Campos, are looking for chapters that explore how AI may be reshaping learner identity, affect and emotion, agency, participation, community, belonging, language norms, authenticity, and perceptions of competence and legitimacy. This volume will have a global focus, and work from diverse educational, linguistic, and cultural contexts is especially welcome. Abstract submissions are now open. Website: www.aixlanguage.com Deadline: August 15, 2026 The collection will be submitted for consideration to Candlin & Mynard's Generative AI and Foreign Language Education Series, expected to be published in February 2028. The purpose of the Generative AI in Foreign Language Education series is to explore the theoretical, practical, and philosophical implications of generative AI for foreign language learning and teaching. |
