I tried Google NotebookLM about a year ago, and I thought it was just another AI tool; now, almost a year later, I have to say that it has emerged as something unexpectedly brilliant for education, especially for language learning, for the way it transforms everyday content into engaging lessons. Teachers can upload their preferred topic in the form of web links, texts, or audio, and the tool will convert them to the content of choice (e.g., summary, study guide) and even create natural podcast-style conversations.

While ChatGPT is the most well-known Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool available at this point, there are also other applications using AI that teachers might want to consider using in their classrooms. We will profile Bing Chat and some of its functionality as well as features that give it unique potential for language teachers and students. As you read this technology highlight, however, please be aware that it seems that details for how Bing Chat works are changing even as we have been revising our article, so various aspects are likely to change by the time you read this.
