How can technology aid in maintaining Ukrainian language proficiency

Technology can significantly aid in maintaining and advancing Ukrainian language proficiency through various innovative approaches.

AI and Large Language Models

Recent advancements have seen the fine-tuning of open-source AI models, such as Gemma and Mistral, to better understand and generate Ukrainian language content, promoting inclusivity and cultural preservation. These models help bridge the gap caused by low-resource language representation in digital platforms, making Ukrainian more accessible in the digital realm. ^{1, 2}

Educational Applications

AI-powered language learning applications, social networks, and mobile-assisted tools are increasingly being integrated into educational settings, demonstrating positive effects on vocabulary acquisition, speaking skills, and overall fluency. These technologies foster engaging, personalized learning experiences and extend traditional classroom methods by providing tailored feedback and interactive exercises. ^{3, 4, 5}

Digital and Multimedia Technologies

Using multimedia tools, infographics, virtual environments, and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) enhances the teaching process, making language learning more visual and interactive. Such tools help learners develop phonetic, grammatical, and lexical skills more effectively, especially in remote or self-directed learning contexts. ^{6, 7, 8}

Online Resources and Platforms

Digital surveys and linguistic databases enable continuous monitoring of language usage and proficiency trends, helping educators adapt their strategies. Platforms like SELFIE also support the assessment and development of digital competencies among students, which are integral to maintaining language proficiency in a digital age. ⁹

Contextual and Cultural Integration

Technology also facilitates the integration of cultural and contextual knowledge into language learning, fostering intercultural competence and motivation, particularly for foreign students studying Ukrainian. ^{10, 11}

In conclusion, technology, especially AI, mobile apps, multimedia tools, and digital surveys, offers diverse and effective avenues for supporting Ukrainian language proficiency, making learning more accessible, engaging, and aligned with modern digital environments.
