Expanding Literacies with Language Models Research paper on literacy and writing, including the role of Transformers in assisting language development AI tools offer now indispensable writing capabilities to learners in a variety of age groups and educational tiers as technology becomes more integral to learning environments. This paper deals with how these tools work, whether they are effective and what that means for literacy development in an educational context. Using more complex algorithms, AI-powered writing tools can offer immediate feedback and enable adaptive support to build a personalized learning experience that enables interactive and engaging writing. vstack rights They combine several functionalities in one tool (all of them are grammar and spell-check, Tests Style & Tone, Plagiarism checker) Plus: content generation. These are aspects of the writing process that AI tools, with limited contextual understanding, can help to automate and reduce cognitive load on learners so they focus instead on high-order skills like organization/coherence or being creative. The paper starts with an overview of contemporary AI-backed writing tools and then provides a background to the main technologies, like machine learning (ML) or natural language processing (NLP), supporting their functional logic. It explores how these tools have been integrated in numerous educational settings, such as K-12 schools and higher education institutions to professional development contexts. © 2024 IEEE.
