Abstract

The integration of digital technology into language teaching has transformed traditional pedagogical approaches, facilitating access to a wider range of interactive and personalized resources. However, this digital shift presents significant challenges regarding teaching methodologies and the skills needed to master new tools. While digital technology promises significant benefits in terms of flexibility, individualization, and material diversity, it also raises concerns about access inequality, learning quality, and the evolving role of the teacher.

Rationale

The integration of digital technology into language teaching has transformed traditional pedagogical approaches, facilitating access to a wider range of interactive and personalized resources. However, this digital shift presents significant challenges regarding teaching methodologies and the skills needed to master new tools. While digital technology promises significant benefits in terms of flexibility, individualization, and material diversity, it also raises concerns about access inequality, learning quality, and the evolving role of the teacher.

In this context, it is essential to assess how technological innovations can enrich language teaching while acknowledging their potential to create or exacerbate inequalities in access and adoption. This reflection will, therefore, focus on solutions for reducing these disparities and examine the new forms of learning emerging from digital tools.

Language teaching in the digital age presents both practical and theoretical challenges. Although current innovations hold the promise of improving pedagogical practices, they necessitate careful consideration of inclusivity, teacher training, and data protection. Future research must account for these multiple dimensions to propose evolution paths that are well-suited to the realities of both learners and educators.

Research areas :

  1. Use of digital tools in teaching specialized languages
  2. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools for research and teaching-learning of specialized languages
  3. Pedagogical innovation and digital tools
  4. The teacher’s role in a digital environment and assessment of language skills
  5. Social media in collaborative language learning
  6. Impact of digital technology on the assessment of language skills

These research areas are designed to structure discussions, identify best practices, share insights, and formulate recommendations for the future of language teaching in the age of artificial intelligence in Algeria. This publication provides a platform not only to reflect on current technological developments but also to address a strategic question concerning the future of language education in the country. It represents a crucial step in preparing Algerian students to thrive in a globalized, technologically advanced world and positions Algerian universities as leaders in pedagogical innovation.
