Embracing Advances in AI-Based Language Tools in EAP Programs: Towards a Plurilingual Shift
Abstract
The chapter calls for a change in language teaching and learning methodologies to keep pace with recent technological advances. It acknowledges the prevalence of conversational artificial intelligence tools like Chatbots, including ChatGPT and Bing. Many students and teachers are already using these tools, albeit discreetly. Instead of ignoring or dismissing, the authors argue for their integration into teaching practices. They discuss both opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of AI tools, considering the current debate surrounding their controversial use and the dominance of a monolingual orientation in English for Academic Purposes courses. By proposing a shift in current practices, the authors advocate for an asset-based, language-friendly, and technology-enriched pedagogy. This new pedagogical approach aims to promote learner autonomy, linguistic and cultural inclusion, and more individualized instruction. By implementing such a pedagogy, teachers can better meet the individual needs of their students leveraging the benefits of these technologies to enhance learning.
