REVOLUTIONISING TIV LANGUAGE PEDAGOGY: THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN TIV LANGUAGE LEARNING



Abstract

This article explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the revitalisation of Tiv language pedagogy. Traditional teaching methods have limitations in engaging

contemporary language learners. Since digital transformation reshapes educational landscapes, the article proposes technology infused approaches, methods and strategies leveraging adaptive

learning platforms, speech-to-text technology for pronunciation enhancement, virtual reality field trips for immersive cultural experiences, as well as artificial intelligence-powered adaptive

assessments.

Effective integration of these innovative methods in Tiv language classrooms enhances learner engagement and motivation, facilitates interactive, student-centred learning, supports

differentiated instruction, and fosters cultural competence and language proficiency. As a vital aspect of cultural identity, Tiv language faces challenges in preservation and transmission to

younger generations. This article equally addresses issues, including infrastructural constraints, the digital divide, and teacher training needs. Furthermore, the article discusses the importance of cultural relevance in AI applications, ensuring that learners not only acquire

language skills but also connect deeply with Tiv heritage. Revolutionising Tiv language pedagogy through technology not only promotes linguistic diversity but also facilitates the preservation of

cultural heritage and empowers future generations



Key words: Tiv language, language pedagogy, Artificial Intelligence, innovative technology, cultural preservation
