Do multilingual AI tutors narrow learning gaps without flattening local pedagogy?

A comparative study of AI-supported tutoring in multilingual classrooms, focusing on learning outcomes as well as the survival of local examples, idioms and teaching practices.

In plain words

When pupils in multilingual secondary schools learn with an AI tutor in both their home and school languages, do their marks and confidence improve? The study would also check whether local examples, sayings and ways of teaching get lost.

Primary research question

When learners use an AI tutor across home and school languages, what changes in attainment, confidence and cultural relevance?

Knowledge gap

What remains worth asking

Learning evaluations of AI tutors seldom measure cultural and pedagogical loss alongside attainment.

Potential contribution

Why it may matter

The evidence could help schools adopt AI support without making local language and teaching practices invisible.

Does AI screening mark down research summaries written in a second language?

Large language models increasingly help screen and rate research writing, and they have been shown to prefer text written by other language models. It is unclear whether that preference partly penalises people writing in an additional language. The idea tests whether AI ratings of research abstracts differ between first-language and additional-language South African writers, and whether AI editing closes any gap once underlying quality is held constant.

Do AI quality scores agree with South African experts on South African research?

Language-model scores of research quality correlate only weakly with expert judgement at the level of single articles, and the strength of that link varies by field. Evidence from African research systems is almost absent. The idea compares AI quality scores for South African articles with blinded expert ratings and tests whether prompting for national relevance changes the agreement.

Where does gap-spotting enter a South African doctorate?

Published research questions in management are overwhelmingly framed as filling gaps in the literature rather than as challenges to underlying assumptions. Because this pattern has been established from finished texts, it is not known where in the doctoral and publication process a question changes form. The idea traces South African doctoral questions from proposal to thesis to journal article to locate that change and the actors and rules behind it.

This registered research direction is a starting point for academic work. It does not claim to be a completed proposal or to establish novelty.
