AI & NLP for Language Learning - Fundamentals.

The rise of technology has changed our lives forever in particular, Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm and changed how we learn and teach languages. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) have become powerful tools that can be used to build the next generation of Language Learning Software.

In this instalment, we explore the tools and best practices that enable language schools and teachers to enhance their pedagogy, thanks to the use of Artificial Intelligence. Particularly, how tools such as AI & NLP can be used in order to transform the learning and teaching experience of a second language.

‍

We introduce some of the foundational concepts, such as:

🔹 What is NLP? Computational Linguistics;

🔹 Fundamental technology:  Word embeddings & Language Models;

🔹 Downstream tasks: Language classification, TTS STT;

🔹 Edugo.AI platform as a real application of AI and NLP technology into a second language teaching and learning platform.
