| Details | This chapter focuses on utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) digital personal assistants (also known as smart speakers) as a tool to improve English language skills by introducing three case studies. AI and mobile technologies have transformed learning methodologies such as blended learning (BL), which combines traditional face-to-face classroom methods with computer-mediated activities, resulting in a more integrated approach to language learning (Obari & Lambacher, 2014). After a brief introduction of artificial intelligence, the basic features of personal assistants/smart speakers, with specific examples of their application in educational and L2 learning environments, are introduced before presenting the key results of three case studies. |
