Artificial Intelligence has evolved in the educational field as a key tool for personalizing assessment and providing real-time feedback, allowing for more precise adaptation to individual student needs and thereby improving learning outcomes in the classroom. The aim of this study was to interpret, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 methodology, the role of Artificial Intelligence in data-driven real-time assessment and feedback in the classroom. The PRISMA 2020 methodology was employed to conduct a systematic literature review on this topic, selecting and analyzing scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024 that address the implementation and effectiveness of these technologies in the classroom. The included studies were critically evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool to ensure the quality and relevance of the findings. This study has demonstrated that the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in data-driven real-time assessment and feedback can transform education by enhancing the precision and personalization of evaluations, promoting critical and creative thinking in students. It was found that Artificial Intelligence facilitates more adaptive learning, particularly in vocational contexts. However, challenges in its implementation were highlighted, emphasizing the need for more rigorous studies that ensure the equity and effectiveness of these technologies in educational environments. Future research should focus on overcoming these limitations and ensuring ethical integration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Previous research has reported an increased interest in the application of Data-Driven Learning (DDL), which was derived from corpus linguistics, to aid English as a foreign or second language learning. DDL emerged as a learner-centered approach that emphasizes the discovery of linguistic patterns by analyzing natural occurrences of language. Many studies have investigated the effect of DDL on several linguistic components and have reported positive outcomes. Consequently, its application has germane importance in an Ecuadorian context as it has not been widely explored. This study seeks to document the experience of 14 EFL students from an Ecuadorian public university and examine their perceptions towards the implementation of DDL activities. The intervention included two stages: assisted guidance for students to retrieve information on their own and corpus-based materials developed by the teacher. Students' perceptions were gathered via a questionnaire, a reflection, and a follow-up interview. The findings indicate that students perceived DDL as a practical and innovative approach to support grammar discovery in an EFL class. Nevertheless, students encountered some challenges associated with the use of DDL, for example, the limited number of searches, an issue that can be resolved by a complete registration in the COCA web. This article concludes with pedagogical implications and recommendations for future DDL applications and research in Ecuadorian EFL classes.

Translator education in monolingual contexts presupposes that students should develop their translation and linguistic competence concurrently, which presents a series of pedagogical challenges. This evaluative descriptive study examines the use of data-driven learning in a task-based approach (DDL-TB) for teaching grammar in a Chilean translation programme. Such an approach implies the exploration of a corpus to find different patterns or linguistic phenomena. The paper presents the design and graduation of tasks and, later, examines the translation students' and lecturer's perspectives about the suitability of this approach for English grammar teaching. The students' comments suggest that the approach allowed them to 1) reflect on the way they learn languages and 2) develop an active role in their formative process. The lecturer highlights that the approach aligns with the learning objectives of the course unit, allowing the course to be effectively 'descriptive'. It is concluded that the narratives examined in this study indicate that an ABD-ET approach would be suitable for English grammar teaching in translation education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MONOGRAFÍA: ENSEÑANZA DE LA GRAMÁTICA EN ELE: RESULTADOS DE INVESTIGACIÓN Y NUEVAS PROPUESTAS Este artículo tiene por objeto reflexionar sobre los usos del pretérito perfecto compuesto en el ámbito de la enseñanza y aprendizaje del español, contexto en el que se tiende a simplificar la dimensión real de los tiempos del pasado y donde suele ignorarse la variación existente en su uso. Para ello, presentaremos los resultados de un análisis basado en datos provenientes del Corpus de aprendices de español (Rojo y Palacios, 2014). Tras una descripción sociolingüística de los fenómenos de variación a los que están sujetos las formas del pasado en el español actual, describiremos sus efectos en el ámbito del español no nativo, examinando un total de 2228 contextos en que los estudiantes de español del corpus utilizan el pretérito perfecto en tareas de expresión escrita. A través de un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, nos interrogaremos sobre las causas de los usos encontrados para entender su distribución, el grado de corrección en el empleo de las formas, la coherencia contextual, así como otras implicaciones aspectuales o estilísticas que se puedan extraer, y que no necesariamente reflejen la manera en que se enseñan y se categorizan los tiempos verbales del pasado en libros de texto, planes de enseñanza y exámenes. ABSTRACT In this article, I carry out a detailed analysis of some of the linguistic features of the Spanish pretérito perfecto compuesto (present perfect tense) in order to show its implications within the Spanish Second Language teaching and learning context, where this particular tense is usually explained in a very simplistic way. I will present the results of the analysis of the present perfect tense using a data-driven methodology, analysing data from a Spanish learner’s corpus, the Corpus de aprendices de español (Rojo & Palacios 2014). After having described the unstable sociolinguistic landscape of the present perfect in the Spanish-speaking world nowadays, I will track the effects of grammar variation in the context of Spanish language learning by examining 2,228 sentences that Spanish students have written using the present perfect. With this analysis, I aim to study some morphological features and aspectual representations to explore quantitative and qualitative differences between native and non-native uses of this particular tense and aspect. The results of this analysis will help us understand that the use of the target language by the learners contradicts some beliefs, learning processes and contents that are generally associated to the grammar structures that teachers of Spanish normally deal with in textbooks, language reference curricula and assessments

Este artículo presenta un proyecto de investigación-acción en el que se usó de un corpus especialmente diseñado y orientado a la enseñanza, como se describe en Timmis (2015), para abordar la falta de conciencia pragmática de los estudiantes de ELE. Este es un problema identificado en estudios de pragmática de la interlengua por más de dos décadas (García García, 2012; Ruiz Fajardo, 2012; Gironzetti y Koike, 2016). Las actividades diseñadas para ser utilizadas con este corpus se basan en los principios de la creación de conciencia y del aprendizaje basado en datos y los resultados proporcionan evidencia empírica del impacto positivo que dichos materiales pueden tener en el desarrollo de la conciencia pragmática en los estudiantes de español como lengua extranjera.
