Abstract

This panel discussion explores the theory-informed utilization of smart technologies in language learning, focusing on contextualized, authentic, and communicative approaches. Integrating advanced smart technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, learning analytics, and robotics into language education offers new avenues for enhancing learner engagement and outcomes. Panelists will present and discuss studies involving various pedagogical strategies that align with contemporary language learning theories. Case studies and research findings will illustrate effective smart technology integration in language classrooms and beyond, addressing practical considerations, challenges, and strategies for leveraging these tools to support second language acquisition and other language learning contexts. The panel aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to harness smart technologies to create engaging, effective, and theory-aligned language learning experiences, contributing to the academic discourse on the transformative potential of these tools in fostering meaningful language education.
