Abstract:

Early childhood is a critical period for language development, as children build the foundational skills that influence their communication, literacy, and cognitive growth. Traditional approaches to language learning often rely on verbal instruction and repetition, but recent advancements in educational technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), have highlighted the transformative potential of music to enhance these processes. Music is inherently multisensory, combining auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements, which makes it an effective tool for engaging young learners and supporting diverse learning styles (Mayer, 2020).

The integration of AI-driven tools with music technology into language learning circles offers unique opportunities to create developmentally appropriate and inclusive learning environments. AI can personalize learning experiences by analyzing each child’s progress and adapting content in real time to suit their individual needs. When paired with digital instruments, interactive musical tools, and augmented reality (AR) applications, AI can further enhance engagement and provide targeted support for children with language delays or other learning challenges (Smith & Mishra, 2018). These advancements align with the growing recognition of technology’s role in fostering collaborative, culturally responsive, and emotionally supportive early education settings (Chen et al., 2022).

This presentation explores how the integration of AI and music technology can revolutionize language learning in early childhood classrooms, focusing on practical implementation, measurable outcomes, and implications for future research. It aims to inspire educators and stakeholders to reimagine the role of AI-enhanced music in fostering language acquisition and social-emotional development among preschool learners.
