Focus and Scope

Freely accessible generative AI has captured the attention of professionals across disciplines with promises of recasting complex language-related practices in every field. Applied linguistics has been among the fields affected by open generative AI, most pervasively through the need to address its impact on language teaching. AI tools not only prompt language teachers to imagine new ways of teaching, but also invite professionals in applied linguistics to investigate language learning and assessment within a new world where machines can create contingent, grammatical monologic and dialogic discourse in response to novel prompts. The new imperatives and possibilities presented by generative AI call for research that offers immediate guidance and builds new knowledge about language use, language learning and language assessment.

The 2024 TSLL conference responded to this new world of language and learning with the theme Researching the Language and Use of Generative AI. Research on the language generated by AI is critically important because all uses of generative AI for language learning and assessment rely on the quality of the language produced by the AI for particular purposes. The uses of generative AI include the learners’ and teachers’ direct access to AI as a source of language data for teaching and learning. Generative AI is also used by developers of learning materials and assessments in addition to language teachers and assessment specialists.
