Abstract: When we say innovative foreign language education and methods, we actually mean foreign language teaching approaches that are both new but adapted to the rapidly changing conditions of the day. With the globalizing and digitalizing world, approaches developed by taking advantage of digitalized and electronic environments are now popular. In addition, after experiencing the pandemic period, it can be said that foreign language education methods and approaches blended with distance education and mixed / hybrid education models have reached very different levels today. In parallel with technological developments in the world, many innovations and techniques have begun to be used in language teaching methods and techniques. The majority of these are screen applications that we can call artificial intelligence elements. Finally, there are artificial intelligence and foreign language education approaches that emerged with artificial intelligence technology, and the artificial intelligence application called “ChatGPT” has become extremely popular. Therefore, distance education models have developed with more technical and digital diversity, applications and approaches than ever before in foreign language teaching methods. While fields such as translation and tourism guidance are added to the group of professions threatened by artificial intelligence and its applications, new fields such as language editing, coding, language and text analysis are also emerging. In this study, language teaching methods that are digitalized and based on technological applications along with the distance education approach will be discussed and a questioning perspective on foreign language teaching and approaches in today’s world will be discussed.
Keywords: Foreign language teaching method, distance education, digitalization applications, artificial intelligence
