Theoretical and practical basis 1 Practical basis
Theoretical basis
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern education is an undeniable trend that enhances teaching and learning quality AI facilitates personalized learning experiences, particularly in skill-intensive subjects like English, creating new opportunities for students.
AI serves as a personal teaching assistant, personalizing the learning experience to cater to the diverse needs of students (Popenici & Kerr, 2017) By integrating AI into project-based lessons, educators can foster a flexible learning environment that enhances students' language and creative skills more effectively.
Additionally, studies have shown that integrating technology into education can enhance student motivation and engagement (Buckingham Shum and Deakin Crick,
2016) In English lessons, the application of AI not only helps students practice their language skills but also promotes critical thinking and creativity through technology- based activities and projects
The integration of AI in education reflects the globalization trend in this field As highlighted by Bennett and other researchers, "AI is transforming our understanding and approach to education, introducing innovative and more effective methods to assist both students and teachers" (Bennett et al., 2018).
To foster digital transformation in education, various countries' Ministries of Education have released official letters and policies to support the integration of digital technology in schools In Vietnam, a notable example is the "Official Letter on Promoting the Application of Information Technology in Teaching and Learning at Educational Institutions" (Decision No 2457/QD-BGDDT dated August 23, 2023).
The Ministry of Education urges educational institutions from preschool to high school to integrate information technology into teaching and management processes This initiative is a significant move towards modernizing the education sector and aims to ensure that all students can access and benefit from technology in their learning Ultimately, this effort contributes to enhancing the quality of education and preparing human resources for a digital future.
In summary, integrating AI into project-based English lessons enhances educational content and transforms learning approaches, enabling students to fully realize their potential in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems' ability to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence This technology allows computers to simulate human cognitive functions, significantly transforming workplaces and educational institutions AI's integration into education is evident, with various studies highlighting its impact on learning for AI, learning about AI, and learning with AI.
2.1.2 Benefits of AI in Education
AI is revolutionizing education by enhancing teaching methods and improving student learning experiences Its dynamic and inclusive nature fosters greater efficiency in the classroom Key advantages of AI in education include personalized learning, streamlined administrative tasks, and enhanced engagement for both teachers and students.
AI in education offers a major benefit by personalizing the learning experience for each student AI-driven platforms can evaluate individual strengths and weaknesses in real time, allowing them to tailor educational content to align with each student's skill level.
AI enhances understanding by allowing individuals to learn at their own pace, which boosts engagement and enables deeper comprehension.
More Efficient Grading and Feedback
AI tools streamline the grading process and provide instant feedback, significantly reducing the time teachers spend on these tasks By automating routine assignments, AI enables educators to concentrate on delivering more interactive and hands-on instruction.
With more time for direct student interaction, teachers can provide personalized support and guidance, improving the overall classroom experience
Targeted Interventions for Knowledge Gaps
AI can analyze data on how students perform in order to pinpoint specific areas where a student might be struggling This can empower educators to intervene in
11 targeted ways that address knowledge gaps before they become more significant problems
By providing timely interventions customized to individual students' needs, AI helps support learning proactively and responsively
AI is enhancing educational accessibility by utilizing tools like speech recognition and text-to-speech, along with other adaptive technologies These innovations ensure that students with disabilities receive the support they need, providing them with equal opportunities for success.
By improving equitable access, AI encourages inclusivity – making sure all students can take part equally in their education, no matter what their needs or abilities are
AI holds significant promise for enhancing education, yet it also presents challenges and raises critical questions Addressing these concerns is vital to ensure that AI serves to benefit all students and teachers, rather than exacerbating existing inequalities Here, we will explore the key challenges associated with the integration of AI in educational settings.
2.1.3 Some AI tools applied in learning and teaching
Discover seven AI-powered tools designed to enhance personalized learning for teachers, enabling greater efficiency and time savings for student engagement Having utilized these tools for my own writing and presentation creation, I've experienced significant time savings, particularly in slide generation, allowing me to concentrate more on content quality Additionally, these tools provide translation options and a diverse range of templates and resources frequently used by educators.
