Innovation in Language Learning

The field of education stands at a critical juncture as it grapples with the transformative forces of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation are reshaping industries and redefining the skills and abilities required in the workforce. In this era of rapid change, the role of educators takes on heightened significance as they guide the next generation into a future characterized by technological innovation and disruption. This shifting landscape calls for a reevaluation of education's fundamental goals.  Hereby, we suggest in this work  that it  is no longer sufficient to prepare students solely as problem solvers; we must also nurture problem makers – individuals who possess the creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit necessary to navigate an uncertain future. In this essence, the philosophy of education takes center stage, as it influences the values, principles, and methodologies that guide teaching and learning. The present research is a descriptive work that delves into the philosophical foundations of education, advocating for a profound shift in the philosophy of educators – one that prioritizes the cultivation of problem makers over problem solvers. At the end, we call for a shift that requires a comprehensive reassessment of curricula, pedagogical approaches, and assessment methods to foster the development of skills such as critical thinking, adaptability, collaboration, and resilience.

Key words: problem solvers, problem makers, education, AI.
