Modern Language Teaching: Pedagogical Innovation, Curriculum, and AI

Abstract

Language education continues to transform in response to changing social, academic, and technological conditions. Contemporary approaches to teaching increasingly emphasize learner-centered practices, curriculum innovation, competency development, and the integration of digital tools. In this context, studies on foreign language education, English studies, and artificial intelligence-supported learning offer valuable perspectives on the future of teaching and learning. The chapters in this volume examine selected issues in language education and innovative pedagogy. The first chapter discusses current problems and approaches in teaching foreign languages in schools, highlighting the need for effective and adaptable instructional practices. The second chapter focuses on journalistic pedagogy as an innovative practice within the English studies curriculum, emphasizing its role in enhancing student competencies. The third chapter explores AI-assisted personalized learning and reconsiders the changing role of the teacher in the 21st century. By bringing together these studies, this volume reflects the dynamic and interdisciplinary nature of modern language education. The chapters show how pedagogical innovation, curriculum-based competency development, and artificial intelligence can contribute to more effective, flexible, and student-centered learning environments. It is hoped that this book will serve as a useful academic resource for researchers, educators, students, and professionals interested in language teaching, pedagogy, curriculum studies, educational technology, and artificial intelligence in education. We extend our sincere appreciation to all contributing authors for their valuable scholarly efforts.
