How lecturers in foreign languages can utilize the innovativeness of AI models to improve students’ performance through personalized assessment and customized learning systems
Main Article Content
Abstract
Various artificial intelligence models have found their way into various aspects of life as a whole. It is worthy to note that various scholars have studied the impacts of AI- models in different aspects of life, making foreign language education a constant area of research for scholars. This study focused on the ways foreign language lecturers can take advantage of these innovations that come with AI models to improve students’ performance through personalised assessment and customised learning systems. Furthermore, explorations were made to determine how AI models facilitate the efficient performance of foreign language students through personalised assessment and customised learning systems. In order to achieve this, this study engaged selected group of participants, which is made up of 230 undergraduate foreign language students from different universities in different locations, as well as 23 lecturers also from different locations. We randomly selected these 253 participants to ensure the authenticity of the study’s information and its practical application in various locations. The study utilized an online questionnaire in the form of Google Forms to collect responses from the participants. The data was collated in order to make the required inferences using the required measures for statistical analysis. The responses recorded by this study showed the acceptance and utilisation of AI models by both students and lecturers, as the majority of these respondents affirmed the claims made by this study. The results obtained demonstrate high levels of impact of AI models in foreign language education as well as ways lecturers can utilise these features and innovations to improve students’ performance. After the analysis and discussion, insights gotten from this study stand to encourage the proper implementation of AI models in foreign language education, as the advantages submitted in this study are worth exploration.
