In particular, the widespread adoption of large language model-based chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) has introduced unprecedented possibilities: personalized learning pathways, instantaneous feedback, adaptive content generation, and enhanced multilingual interaction. While these advancements open exciting new horizons, they also raise critical questions regarding the evolving role of language teachers, the reliability of AI-driven assessment, ethical implications, and the risk of widening digital divides.This special issue aims to explore the multifaceted impact of AI on language teaching and learning from an interdisciplinary perspective. It welcomes contributions that investigate both the theoretical underpinnings and practical implementations of AI across a broad spectrum—from multilingualism and heritage language education to inclusive practices, early literacy support, task-based learning with chatbots, teacher AI literacy, and the potentials and limitations of automated writing and speech evaluation systems.</p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><strong>Key topics include, but are not limited to, the following:</strong></p> <ol> <li><strong>A) AI and Multilingualism</strong></li> </ol> <ul> <li>Exploring AI-Supported Multilingual Classroom Designs</li> <li>Exploring the Role of AI in Heritage Language Learning</li> <li>Exploring Chatbots for Second Language Acquisition</li> <li>Exploring AI for Inclusive Language Education (UDL)</li> </ul> <ol> <li><strong>B) School-Level Inclusion, Coordination, and Special Support</strong></li> </ol> <ul> <li>Exploring AI for School-Wide Inclusion Coordination</li> <li>Exploring AI in Early Literacy Instruction</li> <li>Exploring AI Support for Students with Learning Difficulties</li> </ul> <ol> <li><strong>C) Pedagogy and Material Development in Language Teaching</strong></li> </ol> <ul> <li>AI-Assisted Writing and Genre Awareness</li> <li>AI-Supported Adaptive Vocabulary Learning</li> <li>Task-Based Learning with Chatbots</li> </ul> <ol> <li><strong>D) Teachers and AI</strong></li> </ol> <ul> <li>Language Teachers' Beliefs and Attitudes Toward AI</li> <li>AI Literacy in Language Teacher Education</li> </ul> <ol> <li><strong>E) AI in Language Skills Assessment and Feedback</strong></li> </ol> <ul> <li>AI for Reading Assessment and Motivation</li> <li>AI and Digital Writing Development</li> <li>AI-Driven Speech and Pronunciation Feedback</li> <li>Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE): Potential and Limitations</li> </ul> <p><strong><em>Timeline</em></strong></p> <p>December, 2026: Manuscript Submission Deadline</p> <p>Februar, 2027: Revision Request Decision by Special Issue Editors</p> <p>April, 2027: Publication of the Special Issue</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Journal of Research in Social Sciences and Language 2025-12-02 https://jssal.com/index.php/jssal/announcement/view/10 Journal of Research in Social Sciences and Language 2025-04-14 https://jssal.com/index.php/jssal/announcement/view/9 <p><strong><em>Special Issue Editors:</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Dr. Gürkan Sarıdaş, </em></strong><em>Educational Management, Ministry of National Education, Denizli, Turkey</em></p> <p><strong><em>Special Issue Call for Papers:</em></strong><strong> Migration and Education – An Integrated Research Perspective</strong></p> <p>Migration represents one of the most complex structural and social dynamics shaping contemporary educational systems.
