This presentation explores how generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools can be effectively leveraged to transform language learning and teaching practices. AI technologies offer innovative opportunities to create dynamic and personalized learning experiences, such as interactive picture books, karaoke-based activities, and customized language exercises. These tools facilitate the development of engaging instructional materials that cater to diverse learner needs, supporting the enhancement of language skills. By integrating AI into pedagogical strategies, educators can foster multimodal and student-centered learning environments. AI tools streamline lesson preparation, enhance content customization, and enable adaptive learning experiences that align with specific educational objectives. Additionally, AI-driven solutions empower learners through interactive feedback and real-time engagement, promoting deeper language acquisition and motivation. This presentation highlights the potential of AI to bridge gaps in traditional language education, encouraging innovative approaches that move beyond test-centric methods. It advocates for professional development programs that equip educators with the skills to harness AI effectively, ensuring ethical, inclusive, and creative integration into teaching practices. By redefining language education paradigms, AI serves as a transformative tool for creating more immersive, responsive, and impactful learning experiences, paving the way for a new era of language instruction.
