Thriving in AI: Language Pros of the Future

It's already happening.

The disruption and the opportunity.

AI is affecting language professionals in a major way— including language teaching, translating, copywriting, and almost everything else.

What's left? What is the opportunity, if any?

A portion of language teachers are going to have a pretty good time.

AI is not eliminating your job—it's just eliminating the robotic part of your job.

Commuting to work in panic trying to arrive at 9am instead of 9.10am,

Translation, grading exams, giving feedback on pronunciation, teaching vocabulary...

We never liked living like robots in the first place. Let it go.

The more AI eliminates robotic jobs, the freer we are to focus on human stuff.

People will turn to the analog, organic, physical (or virtual) human fun.

If you are a language teacher, you can put AI in charge of explaining technical stuff and drilling technical skills while you focus on that part of your work that sometimes doesn't feel like work:

People discussing ideas, fooling around, and connecting with one another—developing real communication skills, sharing experiences, and gaining new perspectives.

That's the best part of the language "teaching" job anyway.

We all know when that happens...

If you are a teacher or a language coach, this is where you can thrive and really turn AI into an opportunity for yourself:

Develop speaking clubs, memberships, community spaces, learning shortcuts, and processes.

Now you can truly be a mentor, a coach, a guide, a facilitator.

Let AI give pronunciation feedback and explain grammar.

I know we like to do some robotic things too. But let's face it...

Robots can do robotic stuff much better than us.

The moment to start shifting your focus and future-proof your teaching business is now.

Don't be part of the disruption. Be part of the opportunity.
