Abstract
The perspectives presented in this book examine how AI tools can support and enhance language education while acknowledging the irreplaceable human elements at the heart of teaching and learning. What emerges is a roadmap for critical engagement that respects both the potential of AI and the expertise of experienced educators. We invite readers to approach these pages with curiosity, drawing from them what best serves their teaching contexts while contributing to an ongoing conversation about the integration of AI in language education. In this remarkable moment of educational transformation, our hope is that this volume provides both practical guidance and conceptual clarity for language teachers forging new paths at the intersection of AI and pedagogy.
