Beschreibung
“This is a timely, level-headed guide through the noisy hype cycle of generative AI in language education. Rather than treating GenAI as either salvation or scandal, the book offers a structured, theory-informed way to think and act, anchored in the SECT framework (Social Constructivism, Ethical Use of Technology, Critical Theory, and Technology Acceptance). It also draws on empirical insights from TESOL educators across contexts, making the discussion feel lived rather than speculative. Across chapters that move from CALL-to-AIED history to current tools, classroom applications, ethics, and teacher education, the Author consistently keeps pedagogy, equity, and professional judgement at the centre. This is a genuinely useful resource for researchers, teacher educators, and practitioners who want to integrate GenAI critically, creatively, and responsibly.”

This book examines how generative artificial intelligence is transforming the field of TESOL and second language education. It introduces the core principles of generative AI and explores its potential to reshape language teaching, learning, and assessment. Early chapters trace the historical development of TESOL theories and methodologies, showing how AI connects with evolving pedagogical approaches. Subsequent sections analyse current applications of AI-driven tools such as virtual tutors, language learning platforms, and automated assessment systems. Drawing on case studies and research, the book highlights best practices for educators and institutions seeking to integrate AI effectively and responsibly. Amongst other issues, key themes include ethics, privacy, bias, equity, and the future of teacher roles in AI-enhanced classrooms. Accessible and evidence-based, this book offers essential insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers interested in language education, AI integration, and applied linguistics.
