AI-TELL Project

Establishing a Research Cluster for
Promoting Artificial Intelligence in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (AI-TELL) Research

Objectives

This project aims to establish a research cluster to promote artificial intelligence in technology-enhanced language learning (AI-TELL) research in Hong Kong through the following ways:

Proposing Journal Special Issues

Proposing special issues in international journals for promoting AI-TELL research in the academic community.

Collecting Data for Research

Collecting data related to AI-TELL for providing a foundation to facilitate high-quality research collaboration.

Organizing Research Seminars 

Organizing research seminars delivered by internationally renowned scholars for acquainting EdUHK staff and students with the recent development of AI-TELL research.

Initiating Research Collaboration

Initiating research collaboration with local/international reputable scholars for increasing the capacity to bid for external competitive research funding.
