Pedagogical Conditions for Using Conversation Simulators in Developing Communicative Competence
Abstract
This article explores the pedagogical conditions necessary for effectively using AI-powered conversation simulators – such as ChatGPT, Duolingo, and Mursion – in the development of communicative competence in language learners. It discusses how these tools can support linguistic, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic competences through realistic, interactive dialogue simulations. The article outlines technological and instructional requirements, classroom strategies, and potential challenges, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful integration into language curricula.
