Strategies for language acquisition vary a lot between individuals. Good language teaching requires a humanistic approach, which by definition, excludes total automation. Good teachers help embed memories of new vocabulary, not just by repetition and correction, but by observation of students that they then use to help them find individualised strategies for getting rid of errors. Also, there is the social element of attending language lessons that AI can't (yet) facilitate. However, as an industry, TEFL is not as valued as it probably should be. As such, I think people may be happy to have a lesser quality of teaching if it is cheaper, and then supplement their learning by language exchanges and conversation classes. Either way, I don't really see total domination of the industry by AI.

Most students prefer in person classes with their instructor.

Maybe I'm wrong, but robots must be programmed to understand local speeches and cultures in every countryside around the world. They should work like a mediator figure between the learners and their local speech and culture.

That's going to be crazy! Especially when speeches and cultures change over time, you'll always need new robots to be compatible with that change. But finally, all that would be possible.

Initial education training requires a lot of face-to-face accompaniment from human tutors.
