The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Language Learning Through Daily Micro-Conversations: A Conceptual Study in the Context of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Southern African Region

This paper explores the role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing language learning through daily micro-conversations, with a focus on the Democratic Republic of the Congo and broader relevance to the Southern African region. It introduces LinguaLink, a proposed AI-powered platform designed to provide accessible, low-barrier language learning through short, interactive conversations. The study highlights challenges such as limited educational resources, high data costs, and lack of access to effective learning tools. This conceptual research emphasizes the importance of inclusive, scalable, and technology-driven solutions to improve communication skills, confidence, and opportunities for learners in underserved communities.
