Artificial intelligence and intelligence of the artificial in didactics of languages-cultures

 Abstract

This article is part of a series of works published since the beginning of 2025 on the integration of generative artificial intelligence for text production (hereinafter referred to as "AI") into didactics of languages-cultures (hereinafter referred to as "DLC"). All of these works focus on proposing a "textbook-AI integration model", i.e., integration between two artifacts. Artificial artifacts —particularly textbooks, with their division into didactic units, grammatical progression, didactic materials, and language exercises— have always been used in DLC since the very beginnings of school learning in France to facilitate teachers’ work and guide students in their learning. In this sense, they serve to “augment the natural,” which is necessarily limited in a school environment, just as AI-powered glasses allow for “augmented vision”. This is why it is necessary to integrate the problematic of artificial intelligence into the broader ongoing problematic of intelligence of the artificial.  Also available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/403317556, April 2026. English translation of "Intelligence artificielle et intelligence de l’artificiel en didactique des langues-cultures" (2026d or https://www.researchgate.net/publication/401427404, March 2026).
