Background

In the past year, there has been a rapidly growing interest in exploring the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into language education, including L2 Chinese learning and teaching. With advancements in technology, GenAI presents a promising avenue for revolutionizing language teaching and learning in the context of L2 Chinese.

The potential of GenAI in enhancing L2 Chinese language skills is vast and multifaceted. For example, by providing personalized feedback, adaptive learning pathways, and immersive language experiences, GenAI has the capacity to facilitate various aspects of language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Furthermore, the influence of GenAI extends beyond mere skill acquisition, impacting learner motivation, perception, and attitude towards L2 Chinese learning. As learners engage with AI tools, they develop new perspectives on language learning and experience heightened levels of engagement and efficacy. In the age of Generative AI, innovative pedagogical approaches are emerging to leverage GenAI technology for enhancing L2 Chinese language instruction and learning outcomes. Educators are exploring novel strategies and methodologies to integrate GenAI into instructional practices, aiming to address pedagogical challenges and optimize learning experiences for L2 Chinese learners.

Overall, there is a compelling need for empirical research and classroom-based studies to explore the potential of GenAI in L2 Chinese language learning and teaching, address pedagogical challenges, and maximize its impact on educational outcomes. By advancing our understanding of GenAI's role in language education, we can effectively harness its potential to enhance L2 Chinese language learning experiences and outcomes for learners worldwide.

Aims and Scope

As the landscape of language education evolves with technological advancements, we invite proposals that explore the intersection of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and L2 Chinese language learning and teaching. Specifically, we seek contributions that address the following topics in the context of L2 Chinese:

1. Enhancing L2 Chinese Language Acquisition, Production, and Performance with GenAI: Investigate how GenAI tools can augment the process of acquiring, producing, and performing L2 Chinese language skills.

2. Facilitating L2 Chinese Language Skills through GenAI: Explore the potential of GenAI in facilitating various aspects of L2 Chinese language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

3. Impact of GenAI on Learner Motivation, Perception, and Attitude: Examine the influence of GenAI on learner motivation, perception, and attitude towards L2 Chinese learning, as well as their overall experiences when utilizing AI tools.

4. Innovative Pedagogical Approaches in the Age of Generative AI: Present innovative pedagogical approaches that leverage GenAI technology to enhance L2 Chinese language instruction and learning outcomes.

5. Pedagogical Challenges of Incorporating GenAI: Discuss the challenges and considerations involved in integrating GenAI into instructional practices for L2 Chinese language education.

6. Strategies for Leveraging GenAI in Assessment Processes: Explore strategies for utilizing GenAI technology in assessment processes to effectively evaluate L2 Chinese language proficiency.

7. Artificial Intelligence and Educators' Professional Development: Investigate the role of GenAI in educators' professional development for L2 Chinese language instruction.

8. Development of GenAI-based Language Learning Resources and Materials: Present initiatives focused on developing ChatGPT-based language learning resources and materials tailored for L2 Chinese learners.

9. Perceptions of GenAI in Language Education: Examine teachers' and students' perceptions of ChatGPT as a tool for language education, particularly in the context of L2 Chinese learning.

We particularly encourage methodologically rigorous empirical studies and classroom-based research focused on AI for L2 Chinese language learning. While we value meta-analyses, research reviews, and highly innovative conceptual papers, we are particularly interested in contributions that provide tangible insights from real-world educational settings.
