It’s an ongoing debate I have with one of my students. He says English/language teachers specifically will have a hard time finding work in about 2-5 years. I disagree, especially for students who want a more conversational approach and can afford the classes.

What do y’all think?

    Supplement, yes; replace, no. The teacher needs to assess and correct what the student is doing wrong as much as teach them how to do it right. This is not a good use case for AI. However, AI tools will be helpful in creating and grading course materials, especially ones that are interactive or customized to the individual student.

      True. Teachers use it as a tool and so do students. An informed curriculum change would do most school systems good, but that’s a different issue.
