Pedagogical Innovations in AI-Supported Intercultural Communications

Rapid technological advancement has made artificial intelligence (AI) an integral part of today's society. It plays a crucial role in how people learn, communicate, and interact across different cultures. Although AI is not a new phenomenon, its swift rise in language education, intercultural communication (ICC), dialogue systems, and translation technologies have fundamentally changed intercultural encounters. AI-powered tools offer potential to enhance personalized learning, cultural awareness, empathy, and global collaboration, particularly through multimodal communication and AI-supported international learning environments.

This book reflects the undeniable effects of technology and AI on ICC across educational settings, and meets the expectations, needs and interests of relevant stakeholders. Covering topics such as English learning apps, professional development, and chatbots, this book is a pivotal resource for graduate and doctoral students, researchers, educators, instructional designers, and more.
