No acabo d'entendre si la pregunta es refereix només a l'estudiantat o si inclou el professorat també. Ho dic perquè podria semblar contradictori que el professorat pensés que l'IA és útil per ensenyar, però no ho és per aprendre.

What language? English? The local language? Recent research carried out by CLA with UdL students sojourning in non-English speaking countries shows that 91,5% set language learning as one of their goals. Whereas 69% wanted to learn English, only 31% showed interest in learning the local language.

A substantial body of evidence indicates that teachers and students frequently use their own language and switch between languages in the foreign language classroom. If this practice is so prevalent, rather than proscribing it, perhaps we should integrate it within a solid teaching methodology.
