Peran Penting Manusia dalam Pendidikan Bahasa: Menjembatani Transformasi Teknologi dengan Interaksi Manusia

Abstract

In the era of technological transformation, human interaction in language education is key in ensuring effective learning outcomes. This paper aims to explain the important role of humans in bridging technological transformation with human interaction in language education. Through a qualitative approach, the author analyzes the views of experts and related studies on the role of humans in language education. It was found that humans have a vital role in facilitating language learning, student motivation, contextual understanding, correction and feedback, developing communication skills, and developing social and emotional abilities of students. As learning facilitators, humans use technology as a tool to design interactive and relevant learning experiences. In terms of motivation, humans encourage students to learn languages ​​with enthusiasm through supportive interactions and giving positive feedback. Human interaction helps students understand the context of language use and ensures an accurate understanding of social norms and communication practices. Through direct interaction, humans can provide relevant corrections and feedback, helping students correct errors in language use. In addition, human interaction allows students to actively practice communication skills, whether through conversation, discussion, role play, or project-based activities. Humans also help students develop social and emotional abilities through interactions that build good relationships. Even though technology has an important role in language education, human interaction remains irreplaceable. Humans as a link between technology and students can create learning experiences that are meaningful, motivating, and ensure deep understanding. In this era of technological transformation, it is important for language educators to integrate technology wisely, while still paying sufficient attention to human interaction. This will ensure that language education harnesses the potential of technology while maintaining the invaluable quality and warmth of human interaction.
