讲座摘要：
With the meteoric development of generative artificial intelligence (hereafter GenAI) technologies in the past decade, the field of language education has recently witnessed a rapid significant increase in the use of such technologies, especially generative chatbots. Based on existing research and the author’s own experience of using GenAI, this narrative review explores the use of GenAI and its benefits and challenges/risks in language learning and teaching. Specifically, this review first discusses, with concrete examples, the main specific ways in which GenAI can and have been used in language education. Next, it examines the benefits of GenAI use in enhancing positive language learning attitudes, motivation, and engagement as well as its effects on language learning gains. Then, it discusses the challenges and risks involved in GenAI use, including ethical concerns and possible harms, followed by an exploration of some useful strategies for overcoming the challenges. The article concludes with a brief outlook for the future directions in the use of GenAI in language learning and teaching.
