Abstract
This study delves into the integration of generative AI in second language acquisition, particularly focusing on advanced Japanese learners' autonomy and motivation enhancement through video production. Drawing from Japan's educational guidelines and prior research, the investigation examines the roles of generative AI in language education, emphasizing ethical considerations and strategies for effective integration (Mollick & Mollick, 2023). The course implemented a hybrid approach, combining language instruction with media production, where students created YouTube videos in Japanese. Their productions were supported by AI tools for language correction, narration, and content generation. Results indicate that while AI facilitated practical language learning, instructor guidance remained crucial for ensuring accuracy and contextual appropriateness. The study highlights challenges such as overreliance on AI-generated content and the need for nuanced communication in prompt engineering. Despite these challenges, students demonstrated cultural understanding and improved nonverbal communication skills through video production. Future research aims to analyze students' reflections on their experiences, shedding light on their insights and future applications of AI in language learning.
