| Summary: | The role and implementation of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools have encouraged researchers to delve into this multifaceted area of study. This thematic literature review aims to study the role of GenAI in education, exploring the challenges and benefits in the context of language learning and teaching. This comprehensive literature review is centered on thematic analysis where scholarly publications were selected and analyzed based on predetermined themes including characteristics, challenges, benefits, current practices, and future directions of GenAI in education with a particular emphasis on language learning and teaching. The study presents the common characteristics of GenAI pertaining to the aspects of education. The study also highlights the common challenges investigated by researchers such as academic integrity, especially for written assignments, accuracy, overreliance, transparency, privacy, and the potential disruption of the existing assessment, which could diminish the perceived importance of acquiring knowledge encountered by the major stakeholders in education. The benefits of GenAI include providing personalized education, increasing productivity, providing instant feedback, creating teaching materials efficiently, and improving various language aspects. Given these underlying factors, stakeholders are recommended to integrate and implement GenAI in their education with a conscious consideration of the posed challenges and the benefits to maximize learning and teaching effectively. |
