… 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 (said this in February). Now they are available on many platforms, including Apple Podcasts.
OAILL is supported by the Language and Applied Research Center at San Diego State University (SDSU-LARC) and the Southern Area International Languages Network (SAILN).
We are announcing the (very) soft launch of our series of conversations on Opening AI for Language Learning by posting the first version of the static page on OAILL.
