Artificial intelligence and language learning: what opportunities for allophone learners

European countries are increasingly experiencing multicultural dynamics driven by phenomena such as mobility, migration, wars, political instabil- ity, and the resulting economic crises, with significant repercussions on the structure of school systems. In terms of student population composi- tion, schools are multi-ethnic and multicultural realities. This contribution is linked to the Erasmus Allophone Teacher Academy project, led by the pedagogical area group of the University of Basilicata. The project ad- dresses two main issues: initial teacher training from a multicultural and multilingual perspective, and the learning of the language of schooling, with particular attention to the linguistic needs of students from migrant backgrounds. The product that the Basilicata unit will produce is a collec- tion of pedagogical tools and proposals for teaching activities for classes with foreign students. This contribution focuses on the opportunities and advantages that artificial intelligence can offer foreign students in learning the language of schooling. In particular, the contribution reflects on the problems related to intercultural language education and focuses on the possibility offered by enabling technologies to determine an expansion of vocabulary, useful for communicative, relational, and educational ex- change, from a multilingual and inclusive perspective.
