Abstract

When designing AI-based tools for education, it is important to take into account the experience of human teachers. In this, it is necessary to distinguish between the education features that are justified by the general features of the corresponding education task -- these features should be taken into account in AI-based learning as well -- and features which are specific for traditional non-AI teaching. In this paper, on the important example of bilingual education, we show that several empirically successful teaching strategies can be explained in the general context -- and thus, should be implemented in AI-based teaching as well.
