Conversational Agents and Language Development: A New Frontier in Children’s Learning
【摘要】
Children learn languages best through social interaction, but opportunities for such interaction may be limited, especially in foreign language contexts. This presentation explores whether and how conversational agents, such as Siri or Google Assistant, can provide opportunities for social interaction that contribute to children’s language learning. Findings from two major studies are shared. In the first, a conversational agent assumes the role of a parent or mentor in a book-reading activity, asking the child questions about the story as it is being narrated. In the second, a character in a popular television show engages in dialogue with children about the show’s content. Both studies find that children learn more when interacting with a conversational agent, especially when trying to understand material in a second language. Taken together, the studies demonstrate both the feasibility and promise of using conversational agents to create interactive language learning experiences for children.

iCALL: Making Us Smart or Dumb
【摘要】
iCALL, an acronym for intelligent computer-assisted language learning, differs from the traditional paradigm of CALL in that it attempts to incorporate artificial intelligence technology in CALL design and implementation. There are at least three variants of iCALL in the literature: (1) intelligent tutoring system, i.e., ITS; (2) artificial intelligence in education, i.e., AI-ED, AIED; and (3) parser-based CALL. This paper presents a critical review of these iCALL variants. The evaluation is based on the six universal laws of learning, which are structured as follows: The Those iCALL programmes that are designed and implemented in accordance with the six laws will make us smart, whereas those iCALL programmes that violate the six laws will make us dumb.

Language Intelligence: Discipline Construction and Talents Training
【摘要】
Language Intelligence (LI) is one of the core problems in Artificial Intelligence (AI) ,which involves the exploration of human intelligence and language processing techniques of computers. It is an area touching on brain science, cognitive science, linguistics, logics, computer technologies etc, representing the highest level of artificial intelligence. However, the development of language intelligence still faces a lot of challenges and difficulties, calling on many talents in different disciplines, even generations of researchers to deal with it. To meet the needs of AI innovation and LI talent training in China, it is of utmost importance to set up an interdisciplinary Science of Language Intelligence in universities and colleges. It would be reasonable and suitable for this interdisciplinary study to be constructed as first-level discipline within the current system of disciplines in China. This presentation will focus on the topics such as connotations of LI, significance of LI discipline construction and our practice in Beijing Foreign Studies University.

From corpus literacy to corpus-based language pedagogy: effective integration of corpora into classroom teaching
【摘要】
Corpus linguistics proves to be an innovative and effective approach to language studies and analyses. However, a corpus-based approach remains largely unknown to the majority of the professional teaching community. Language teachers generally appreciate the pedagogical potential of corpus, but rarely use it in classroom teaching. A key concept regarding corpus-based teacher training is corpus literacy (CL). Another key concept, largely ignored by researchers, is corpus-based language pedagogy (CBLP), which is defined as the ability to integrate corpus linguistics technology into classroom language pedagogy to facilitate language teaching. Based on the differentiation of CL and CBLP, I will present two relevant studies. In study 1, a new Corpus Technology Acceptance and Use (CTAU) model was introduced based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Furthermore, the theoretical model was empirically tested with 697 English teachers to determine the factors (e.g., system accessibility, subjective norm, prior experience, self-efficacies [corpus literacy, corpus-based language pedagogy]) that influence English teachers’ perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of corpus technology, which will in turn affect their intention to use it, and its actual uses for learning or teaching. Study 2 adopted a case study approach and investigated two English teachers’ engagement of acquiring CBLP, implementation and evaluation of their corpus-based classroom teaching.

Teaching remote interpreting remotely, or how to make a virtue out of necessity
【摘要】
The aim of this presentation is to share an experience of how a combination of innovative learning techniques and remote interpreting technologies was harnessed in the Translation & Interpreting (T&I) MA programme taught at the University of Genoa.
Well before the COVID-19 pandemic outburst, the University of Genoa had set up a workgroup on teaching and learning techniques (GLIA) which fostered innovation in instructional design. In 2019, thanks to GLIA's support, the T&I MA implemented simulation-based training in legal interpreting adopting a social constructivist approach (cfr. Kiraly 2000). This means that each and every interpreting simulation, from script drafting to the role play and feedback sessions, were carefully prepared by a team of experts which included a pedagogist with expertise in instructional design, a psychologist and a legal professional in addition to the interpreting instructor.
Since early 2020, due to health emergency restrictions, all teaching has been online and, as a result, computer-assisted ad hoc interpreting platforms (“digital interpreting booths”) have been adopted along with live streaming classroom software. The experiment has proved so effective that it has been decided to extend this teaching mode beyond the emergency as a proactive response to the post-COVID employability scenario, since it is very likely that remote interpreting services will play the lion's share on the interpreting market in the years to come, due to improved technology and comparatively low costs, and despite the serious challenges they pose for interpreting professionals.

Perfunctory gamification in the world of second language learning
【摘要】
Gamification is a trend that is steadfastly increasing in popularity in several fields that involve learning. Several concepts borne out of this have recently been applied with the intent to facilitate second language acquisition. This is most notably visible in the form of apps and online teaching courses that take advantage of mechanics that are drawn directly from video game design principles.
However, while tools of this kind will appeal to some learners (e.g. dopamine-reliant social media users), others will find them ineffective as language study aids.
In this talk, I will argue that this is strictly due to limiting gamification features to only an easily implementable subset (leader boards, levelling progression, trophy achievements, etc.), while features that offer meaningful content (e.g. narrative and ludological structure, motivational level design, player agency, etc.) are typically left out due to budgetary, programming, or scheduling constraints. Such app or course design – which I dub perfunctory – will leave some users feeling frustrated by what amounts to false advertising, contributing to a decrease in motivation.
I will conclude the talk by presenting what I consider a set of tentative solutions to the problem based on a review of currently available research in the field.
