Descripción
Sumario:[EN] We present an exploration of generative artificial intelligence's potential in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), describing recent and expected near-future developments, tools, practical applications, and ethical considerations in the field. We trace different stages of development in CALL and argue that the advent of generative AI has inaugurated a new stage of Intelligent CALL. We consider the possible capabilities and limitations of AI as found in recent studies, compare with our personal, hands-on experience of using generative AI in CALL, and suggest ways to successfully utilise this technology. In particular, we briefly present the C-LARA project, which is a current focus of our activities.
