AI and World Education: What can go WRONG, and what can go RIGHT! Artificial intelligence (AI) in education has contributed to technological advances and theoretical innovations as well as having positive pedagogical impact (Bayne, 2015; Roll & Wylie, 2016). However, AI has its limitations because “gone are the days when anyone would suggest that language could be taught on its own as only discrete grammar points” (Glisan & Donato, 2021) p. 66). In this webinar, the researchers discuss how they have used AI to teach Spanish framed in the 3 Modes of Communication.
