Gemini Program and Arabic Language Teaching: An Analytical Study

Abstract

This study aims to provide a description of the Gemini digital program in teaching the Arabic language to both native and non-native speakers, analyzing the cognitive, linguistic, grammatical, and educational information offered by the program according to artificial intelligence principles for the benefit of the Arabic language, particularly in the areas of text creation and translation. We conducted a study of the Gemini program using both descriptive and quantitative methods, based on the hypothesis that the developers of this program relied on a specialized team in Arabic linguistics, who are knowledgeable about its nuances and characteristics that align with digital systems, as well as experts in artificial intelligence principles. Thus, we question to what extent this "Gemini" intelligent program can effectively teach the Arabic language.The study concluded with several findings, including that language teaching programs using artificial intelligence need to be supplied with comprehensive and high-quality databases by specialists in the field of linguistics. Since the Arabic language has a special character that distinguishes it from foreign languages, the developers of the Gemini program aimed to meet all needs of both native and non-native speakers through relatively simple databases. These databases do not fully represent the system described by Arabic linguistic theory.The results of this study have shown that the data provided by artificial intelligence programs fall short of meeting the needs of Arabic language learners, especially in the program under investigation. Moreover, this data may sometimes be misleading and provide incorrect information.Therefore, this program needs to be developed .
