Teaching Social Studies: Vol. 24, No. 2, Summer-Fall 2024
Social studies educators can intentionally integrate AI-powered tools to support multilingual learners by translating complex academic vocabulary and primary sources into students' native languages. These technologies enhance student engagement across speaking, writing, interacting, reading, and listening skills through interactive features like historical chatbots, real-time transcription, and accessible media captions.
