Summary

Language learning is being reinvented in the digital age. From AI tutors and chatbots to immersive games and virtual reality, this book reveals how technology is reshaping the way we acquire new languages. It uncovers how learners young and old experience these tools differently, explores the cognitive benefits and challenges they bring, and asks what happens when algorithms become classroom companions. Alongside the excitement of innovation, the authors raise vital questions about ethics, privacy, and the role of human creativity in education. Blending research with real-world examples, this book offers a thought-provoking guide to the future of language learning in a connected world.
