Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming higher education. In language teaching in particular, it opens up new opportunities while also presenting new challenges. For instructors, it is therefore essential to stay up to date with current developments and to actively shape the thoughtful and responsible use of AI in their teaching practice.
On this page, the TUM Language Center brings together key information, materials, and offerings related to “AI in Language Teaching.” Here you will find insights from past events, practical good practices, a continuously updated collection of useful links, professional development opportunities, as well as support formats such as our AI newsletter and AI Guides. The goal is to support instructors in integrating AI into their teaching in a competent, critical, and effective way.
