Generative AI and Foreign Language Education Series

About the Series

Overview

The purpose of the Generative AI in Foreign Language Education series is to explore the theoretical, practical and philosophical implications of generative AI developments on foreign language learning and teaching. The series comprises both edited volumes and monographs by authors from different contexts. Many of the titles contain practical applications and also link ideas to future research possibilities. The series is designed for both new and experienced language educators who are involved in teaching or in supporting learners in developing their language skills. The series also explores generative AI from the position of the learner, so will appeal to readers who are interested in managing their language learning journey through the use of generative AI.
​
Target audiences
  • Language educators and researchers with an interest in using technology, particularly generative AI, to enhance language learning and teaching opportunities.
  • Language learners interested in exploring how generative AI can support their language development within formal education and informal contexts.

Key features
  • Can be edited volumes or monographs;
  • Written by experts in the field with expertise both in research and practice;
  • Link theory/research and practice;
  • Contain resources to help readers to develop their teaching and research;
