The Future of Language Learning: Google Tests AI Feature To Teach English
Learning a new language in the digital age just got a whole lot easier. Google has introduced an AI-powered speaking practice feature, originally launched in October 2023, designed to provide conversational assistance to those eager to master the English language. Notably, this reinforces Google's push to expand the capabilities of its AI models.
Unlike traditional language learning apps like Duolingo, Babbel, and Pimsleur that have a set curriculum and a system that advances students level by level, Google's approach circumvents this. Instead, the new feature enables learners to have ongoing conversational experiences, allowing a deeper understanding of the context and appropriate usage of language components.
This tool is currently available for Search Lab users in Argentina, Colombia, India, Mexico, Venezuela, and Indonesia. That said, the interaction practice feature may surface on any Android device, thanks to Google's translation capabilities. The goal here is not only to help learners practice but also guide them in choosing the best words or conjugations for their conversations.
Indeed, the era of AI-assisted language learning is upon us, a wave ridden by leading language app Duolingo, which integrated an AI chatbot in 2016 and GPT-4 in 2023. Apps like Pimsleur promote user engagement by conducting roleplays, where you'll need to respond to questions in your target language.
So, will Google's AI-empowered speaking practice overshadow the efficacy of the dedicated language learning apps as we know them? Only time can tell, but one thing is certain – Google is set on enhancing its AI capabilities, and the world is eager to grasp the fruits of its efforts.
