An Evaluation of Khanmigo, a Generative AI Tool, as a Computer-Assisted Language Learning App
Abstract
Key Questions
What is Khanmigo?
Khanmigo is a Generative AI (GenAI) tool developed by Khan Academy, designed to assist learners across various subjects by providing interactive, AI-driven support.
How can Khanmigo be used for language learning?
While not specifically designed for language learning, Khanmigo offers activities that can aid in learning languages like French through interactive exercises and AI-generated feedback.
What is Chapelle’s Evaluation Framework?
Chapelle’s (2001) Evaluation Framework is a set of criteria used to assess the appropriateness of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) tools, focusing on aspects like language learning potential, learner fit, and authenticity.
How effective is Khanmigo for learning French?
According to the study, Khanmigo shows potential for aiding French language learners but does not perform robustly across all evaluation criteria, indicating room for improvement.
What are the limitations of using Khanmigo for language learning?
Limitations include a lack of tailored language learning features, potential issues with learner fit, and the need for more authentic language interaction capabilities.
