Generative AI + Second Language Acquisition

Welcome to the library guide for our Duke study group focused on the impacts, concerns, and potential roles of generative AI in language education. This guide serves as a resource hub for participants interested in the intersection of AI and language learning.

The main goals of the study group will be to:

• Discuss scholarly works in the field of SLA that deal with the role of AI in the language classroom and beyond.
• Explore and critically reflect upon tools and digital practices that can be implemented in our courses.

If you are interested in participating in the group please contact Mattia Begali ( mb242@duke.edu) or Sandra Valnes ( sandra.valnes@duke.edu)
