Democratizing the Teaching and Learning of Finnish: AI-powered Integration for Immigrants

Bidragets beskrivning

For thousands of adults who move to Finland every year, learning Finnish is crucial for successful integration into the working and social life. Traditional language instruction cannot adapt to each learner's individual needs. DALAI-FIN uses cutting-edge AI to provide personalized, flexible language teaching. Automating tasks such as generating relevant exercises and instant feedback enables teachers to focus on guiding and motivating students. Advanced speech-recognition and LLMs help learners improve their skills through engaging interactive exercises. For example, healthcare professionals can work on medical language, others may focus on the nursing domain, or any other topic relevant to them. This assures successful mastery of the language, opening doors to employment and active participation in Finnish life. DALAI-FIN involves universities, language schools, and government bodies to create an inclusive AI-enabled learning environment that benefits immigrants and the wider society.
