How is AI Changing the Future of Language Learning?

When people think of AI technology, the first thing that tends to come to mind is the function of asking a device to perform an action for you, such as creating an image or writing a text.
However, there are some very exciting advances in AI programmes, one of them being the development of voice recognition software which can encourage employee learning engagement when it comes to learning a new language.
Complex programmes can now analyse and even score speech, meaning that verbal accuracy (pronunciation, grammar etc.) for language acquisition can develop quicker through training.
Immediate feedback to improve language skills
For your team, being able to have their speech effectively analysed when learning a language has an incredible effect on their development, but also on the L&D community, as a whole. Feedback can be given immediately and acted on straight away, helping to effectively eliminate picking up bad habits and knowledge by correcting mistakes instantly.
Receiving personalised feedback in real-time on verbal skills can significantly improve language learning, offering a more tailored learning experience to each user. Detecting learner level is also a huge benefit for employees to discover areas of improvement.
With AI now confidently being able to correct both written and verbal answers, this will help to shape the future of language learning.
Where will AI take language learning?
AI programmes are now becoming more accurate in a variety of areas of language learning, this will enable systems to accurately predict what results to expect from employees as they evolve and progress through courses. This data will be used to further personalise the learning experience, offering them even more targeted information on the areas of improvement and assisting them with learning in the flow of work.
It’s looking likely that the future of language learning will see fewer one-size-fits-all approaches when it comes to training programmes and apps. Language learning will likely become completely tailored to each individual employee, this will assist with usability and will help to create a learning culture within your company.
The advancement of AI is showing no signs of slowing down and the main benefits can be seen below:
- Time-saving: Language tutors, employers and employees will all benefit from the time saved by using AI-enabled apps to help advance language skills
- Flexible and convenient: AI apps can be used at a time that suits the individual
- Instant feedback: No need to wait when discovering the areas where you need improvement
- Adaptable: Courses are more likely to have employee engagement when they're tailored to the individual - a win/win for both the employee and the company as a whole.
