Why it mattersAt a conference in Chiang Mai, education officials also pointed to practical uses for AI: pronunciation instruction, personalised learning support and wider access to educational resources, China Daily reports. The proposals connect language learning with skills and employment needs. Whether AI can help deliver that without widening the digital divide is another matter, and one worth watching.
Discuss: Should AI tools in language education be judged mainly by how much access they widen, or by whether they measurably improve learning?
