The latest volume of Research Papers in Language Teaching and Learning presents a focused collection of studies united by a timely and urgent theme: the integration of Artificial Intelligence in language education. As AI tools become increasingly embedded in academic and professional contexts, this volume interrogates how they can be adopted critically, ethically, and pedagogically within language teaching and learning. By bringing together theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and classroom-based practice, the contributions collectively map the emerging landscape of AI-mediated language education—its promises, its limitations, and the responsibilities it places on teachers, learners, and institutions.
