Bridging social gaps with AI: improving access to specialized language terminology
Abstract
This article explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing social inequities in language education by improving access to specialized language terminology. As education evolves in the digital age, AI emerges as a revolutionary tool that personalizes and enhances the learning experience, making foreign language acquisition more accessible and effective. The study focuses on the application of ChatGPT in foreign language learning, demonstrating how AI can optimize learning outcomes by providing individualized support and broader access to authentic materials. By leveraging AI, students can improve their proficiency in specialized terminology, refine their spoken communication, and enhance their writing skills. The research highlights the potential of ChatGPT to bridge social gaps in education by offering equitable access to high- quality language learning resources, thereby empowering learners from diverse backgrounds to achieve better educational outcomes. The study concludes that AI, and ChatGPT in particular, is a powerful tool for democratizing language education and improving specialized language proficiency.
