… is a series of recorded conversations on topics at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular Generative AI (GenAI), and Language Education. We have started using the acronym OAILL, pronounced /owaıl/. With my accent this sounds like the German weil (=because), but it should be more the w in the English well.

The people in conversation are listed in the table below. The people behind the scenes are:
- Chris Brown: producer, editor
- Shahnaz Ahmadeian Fard: moderator
- Mari Ocando Finol: production coordinator
We have plans to push out the recorded conversations as podcasts, but that takes time. So, here they are for your listening pleasure:
