Dear colleagues,

This is a call for chapters for an edited volume with Multilingual Matters entitled "New insights on learning languages with and through AI". The main aim of this volume is to promote pedagogically responsive foreign language (FL) teaching practices that integrate AI technology into the classroom through forging a dialog between practitioners and researchers. We hope to advance a discussion of how to best connect the acquisition of subsequent FLs with AI practices to create culturally and linguistically inclusive FL classrooms with a more personalized and engaging learning experience, and to strengthen the connection between research on technological advances and FL teaching practice that would prepare learners for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. Contributors are invited to present new approaches and tools for foreign language instruction connected to the existing educational and learning theories with the inclusion of AI shaped in collaboration between foreign language teachers and researchers.
Chapters are expected to be about 6500 to 8000 words in length, and the proposed timeline is:

- NEW DEADLINE: May 30th 2024 - submission of abstracts and expression of interest (see below)
- December 2024- full chapter delivery
- January/February 2025- Peer review period (whole volume)
- June 2025 - Delivery date for final typescript
