Learning of Tomorrow [September 29] “Will Generative AI Change English Education in Japan?” This week's Learning of Tomorrow Online Symposium is tomorrow, not Wednesday!
The theme is “Will Generative AI Change English Education in Japan?”
AI technologies that handle language—such as “ChatGPT”—have advanced remarkably, and the way we communicate is changing significantly. With the widespread adoption of highly accurate AI-powered automatic translation tools, many people may be wondering if learning foreign languages will become unnecessary in the future.
How will generative AI impact English education in Japan? Will English language learning require a fundamental overhaul? How will the approach to English reskilling for working professionals change? Professor Kanemaru, who is conducting research on the relationship between generative AI and English education, will speak on this topic. We hope you will join us.
