The AI Cookbook Inventory of Best Practices and Tools identifies and describes the best practices and AI tools currently being used in migrant education. This resource serves as a reference for educators and organisations looking to adopt AI solutions, providing examples of successful implementations, case studies, and evaluations of various AI applications’ effectiveness and impact on learning outcomes. The resource includes literature references, a set of personas to help identify migrant learner and educator needs, as well as tools for migrant education and resource development.

From our research at AI Cookbook, AI applications with proven impact in migrant education include:   

Conversational AI and Chatbots  

   – Tools like ChatGPT act as language practice partners, offering non-judgmental speaking/writing exercises.  

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) 

   – Provide real-time feedback on language skills (e.g., pronunciation via Automatic Speech Recognition).  

Machine Translation (MT) Tools

   – Assist comprehension in multilingual classrooms (e.g., Google Translate for instant translations).  

Key considerations: AI should complement, not replace, human interaction. Educators must guide learners to use these tools critically, addressing over-reliance and ethical concerns.  

Empowerment also hinges on AI literacy, teaching learners to critically evaluate AI outputs and use tools responsibly.
