Teaching German within digital paradigm of education: AI-based approaches and tools

In view of the increased popularity of AI tools in teaching foreign languages, particularly German, and the corresponding concerns that arose, this article explored the futuristic prospects of learning German with AI. It examined how these technologies had revolutionized the learning process and what learners could expect in the future. The study’s methodology was based on a systemic paradigm and involved the use of content analysis and elements of case studies, relying on a wide array of literature sources extracted from general and specialized scientometric databases. The findings showed that AI in language teaching represented a powerful approach to engaging students and enhancing learning outcomes. The most innovative methods, such as the integration of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) into educational processes, yielded the most effective results. The study attempted to outline the correlation between various AI-based teaching approaches and existing educational theories that characterized the contemporary educational landscape. Furthermore, it proposed an appropriate schematic model that could serve as a foundation for further research in the field, including studies with an interdisciplinary focus.
