Bilingual Education in the Age of AI (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Artificial intelligence is transforming education at remarkable speed. In bilingual and multilingual classrooms, this transformation raises urgent questions: How can AI support language learning without replacing the human work of teaching? How can educators use AI critically, creatively, and responsibly? And how can multilingual learners benefit from new tools without losing the cultural, emotional, and relational dimensions of language education?

Bilingual Education in the Age of AI: Opportunities, Challenges, and New Directions brings together researchers, educators, school leaders, and practitioners to examine the possibilities and risks of artificial intelligence in bilingual education. The contributors explore AI-supported language learning, translanguaging, plurilingualism, oral practice, writing support, bilingual science education, teacher training, classroom integration, and responsible AI use.

Rather than presenting AI as either a miracle solution or a threat to be rejected, this volume approaches it as a powerful and imperfect tool whose value depends on pedagogy, ethics, and human judgment. The chapters show how AI can expand access, personalize learning, support multilingual materials, and encourage student agency, while also raising concerns about bias, privacy, dominant-language privilege, cultural nuance, and linguistic diversity.

Timely and practical, this book invites educators, researchers, and policymakers to imagine a future in which AI supports, rather than replaces, the human work of bilingual education. It argues for an approach that is human-centered, language-conscious, and justice-oriented-one that places technology in the service of linguistic diversity, educational equity, and meaningful learning across languages.
