Artificial Intelligence: Appropriation and ethics during the language learning process in undergraduate students in Mexico
Abstract
Digital literacy has become a crucial component of the teaching and learning process, particularly within higher education institutions. This process began with the Covid-19 pandemic, which forced school systems to move towards educational technology platforms. This phenomenon revealed significant regional inequalities, particularly regarding the lack of knowledge about information, communication, knowledge, and digital learning technologies (ICTs). Furthermore, the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) began in 2022, with AI becoming the most common tool among students. This has led to a whirlwind of advantages and challenges for digital literacy. Therefore, this text analyzes how students in the bachelor’s degree in English Language Teaching use artificial intelligence, highlighting its benefits for language learning as well as the challenges students face when confronted with the vast amount of data and information obtained through online searches. This research used a qualitative methodology through a hermeneutic approach that allowed for an in-depth interpretation of how students use technology and artificial intelligence, as well as the lack of knowledge about ethical regulations in their application to daily life and, of course, academic life.
