Solutions such as speech synthesis and machine translation are actually working tools, not learning tools, but they can be effectively introduced into the school. Machine translation, for example, can make sources from every country in the world easily available and immediately usable. These are intelligent machines that will be increasingly present in the workplace, and they should be used in schools as well.
Machine translation is one of the most amazing acquisitions of AI. On a daily basis we happen to enjoy content that is translated, even without our knowledge, on the web and in social media.
We define “translingualism,” the era of overcoming language barriers, which will also facilitate the development of a new global humanism.
It is impressive to see video simulations of people setting out to speak languages they do not know, almost reenacting an artificial “pentecost.” In this field, applications are emerging that enhance the “Imitation Game” to support language learning through contextual conversational experiences with AI-simulated people.
