Tainan University Launches TAIDE Bilingual Learning Family Pilot Program, Exploring New Language Learning Models

Supported by the National Science and Technology Council's Academia-Industry Cooperation Program, a team led by Professor Chien-Hsing Lee at National Tainan University, in collaboration with the National Center for High-Performance Computing, Zhenping Enterprise, and Nuwa Robotics, has launched the "TAIDE Bilingual Learning Family Pilot Program." This is Taiwan's first locally developed trustworthy AI dialogue engine, dedicated to promoting bilingual learning. The program was officially launched in Tainan on October 7th and is scheduled to expand to multiple counties and cities across Taiwan on October 24th, exploring new AI-powered bilingual learning education models.

The inaugural event took place at Yongfu Elementary School in Tainan, where discussions were held with principal Yang Shu-yan and students on how generative AI could be integrated with Taiwanese language materials to optimize the learning environment and enhance learning outcomes. Subsequently, the team visited Rende Elementary School to observe an AI-powered Taiwanese language course, demonstrating how AI can be combined with Taiwanese language teaching to enable students to learn Taiwanese through interaction with AI, not only adding fun to the learning process but also showcasing the potential of AI in language education.

Professor Lee Chien-Hsing stated that the TAIDE bilingual learning model can provide students with a personalized and efficient learning environment. Through real-time feedback from AI technology, it not only reduces the burden on teachers but also accelerates students' mastery of Taiwanese and English. The visiting team also discussed with Rende Elementary School how to extend this language learning model from schools to families and explored future promotion plans in other Asian countries.

During a visit to National Tainan University, President Chen Hui-ping hosted Dr. Zhiyuan Li, Chair of the IEEE Region 10 Education Activities Committee, and showcased the OASE laboratory's AI robot automatic chat system, highlighting the diverse applications of AI in human-computer co-learning models. This event laid the foundation for the integration of AI technology with language education and demonstrated the potential of this technology for educational innovation in Asia. It is hoped that Taiwan's experience can serve as a reference for other countries, opening up a new chapter in generative AI education.
