A systematic review of research on AI in language education: Current status and future implications
(University of Hawaii National Foreign Language Resource Center, 2025-01-27) Zhu, Meina; Wang, Chaoran; Yu-Ju Lan
Given the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for language education, this
article provides a review of selected empirical studies on artificial intelligence in language education,
spanning from 2013 to October 2023. Data for this review were gathered from the Web of Science, Eric
ProQuest, Scopus, and five top specialized language education journals. A total of 125 studies met the
selection criteria and were analyzed using multiple methodologies, including selected bibliometrics,
content analysis, and topic modeling. This article furnishes an up-to-date overview of the current
landscape of AI in language education research, emphasizing specific AI technologies, their applications,
and their educational impact. The most prevalent AI technologies encompass automated writing
evaluation, bots, machine translation, automatic speech recognition, and intelligent systems. The results
also reveal frequent utilization of AI to assist students in learning writing and speaking. Extensive
discussions about practical implications and outlines for future research directions are provided from
multiple perspectives. The evolution of AI necessitates initiatives addressing diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI) concerns in language education. Future research demands large-scale collaborative
efforts with a focus on long-term research and development endeavors.
In Memoriam Marian Adachi Kohn (1929–2014), Hawaiian Entomologist and Scientific Illustrator
(2024) Kabat, Alan R.
Marian Shizuko Adachi Kohn (1929–2014) contributed significantly to our knowledge of Hawaiian entomology through her publications on the Diptera of Hawai‘i and elsewhere in the Pacific region, including a significant 1964 monograph on the Dolichopodidae co-authored with D. Elmo Hardy. Marian described 126 species-level taxa, and she also illustrated several of Hardy’s entomological publications.
Ambrosia Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) Associated with Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death and Mixed Metrosideros polymorpha Forests on the Island of Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi
(2024) Roy, Kylle; Dunkle, Ellen J.; Manandhar, Roshan; Clark, Michelle; Magnacca, Karl N.; Harshman, Kalli; Peck, Robert W.
Xyleborini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) beetles on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi, are of interest due to their role in the fungal disease complex, rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD), and the unique radiation of endemic ambrosia beetles found across the Hawaiian archipelago. We investigated the status of RODassociated and native ambrosia beetles on Kauaʻi by rearing beetles from bolts collected from ROD-Ceratocystis infested ʻōhiʻa lehua (ʻōhiʻa; Metrosideros polymorpha) trees and trapping in mixed ʻōhiʻa forests. Beetles associated with ROD on Kauaʻi include Xyleborinus saxesenii, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xyleborus perforans, Xylosandrus crassiusculus, and Crossotarsus externedentatus. Xyleborus perforans was most abundant in ʻōhiʻa bolts followed by Xyleborus ferrugineus. From trap captures, we identified new island records of the native Xyleborus beetles including Xyleborus dubiosus, Xyleborus oahuensis, and Xyleborus tantalus. Xylosandrus crassiusculus was most abundant in traps. Additional work could contribute to understanding and mitigating the spread of ROD on Kauaʻi and to documenting the endemic Xyleborus beetles.
