Chinese Nail Art Culture: Historical Evolution and Modern Development

Abstract

Chinese nail art culture boasts a long history, evolving over thousands of years from a symbol of social status in ancient times to a modern fashion trend. Its cultural significance and social functions have shifted throughout history. This article systematically traces the development of nail art culture from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present day, exploring its transformation and social functions at different historical stages.

Introduction

Chinese nail art culture boasts a rich history, evolving over thousands of years from a marker of status and identity in ancient times to a contemporary platform for individual expression and artistry. Its origins can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, where nail art was used by the aristocracy as a symbol of power and social standing. Over time, this cultural practice flourished during the Tang and Song Dynasties, shifting from a ceremonial function to an aesthetic one, as noblewomen embraced techniques such as dyeing their nails with balsam flowers. By the Qing Dynasty, nail art reached its peak of luxury, with noblewomen employing intricate designs and adorning their nails with precious materials.

The 20th century marked a transformative period as Western nail polish entered the Chinese market, introducing new techniques and materials that gradually replaced traditional methods. In modern times, Chinese nail art has embraced a fusion of tradition and innovation. Designs featuring elements like Peking opera masks and porcelain motifs highlight the integration of cultural heritage, while eco-friendly materials reflect contemporary environmental awareness.

This article explores the historical evolution of Chinese nail art culture, focusing on its changing societal roles, aesthetic significance, and modern development, illustrating how it serves as a medium of cultural expression and a bridge between tradition and modernity.

1. Shang and Zhou Dynasties: The Origins of Nail Art Culture

The origins of Chinese nail art culture can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties (approximately 16th century BCE to 3rd century BCE), where nail art symbolized status and social standing, primarily among the aristocracy. In some religious ceremonies, participants painted symbols or patterns on their nails to seek divine protection. Noblewomen applied mixtures of beeswax and egg whites to their nails to maintain a glossy and translucent appearance (Jiang Xiaowan, 2019).

2. Tang and Song Dynasties: The Flourishing of Nail Art Culture

The Tang and Song dynasties (approximately 7th to 13th centuries CE) witnessed a golden age of Chinese economy and culture. Nail art transitioned from a ritual function to an aesthetic one, becoming an integral part of aristocratic women’s daily lives.

During this period, the use of balsam flowers to dye nails became increasingly popular. Women would crush balsam petals, mix them with alum, and apply the mixture to their nails. After wrapping their nails with cloth overnight, they achieved a vibrant red color that lasted for months. This dyeing method, celebrated for its vivid and lasting hues, was widely practiced and deeply loved by women of the era (Jiang Xiaowan, 2019).

3. Ming and Qing Dynasties: The Era of Luxurious Nail Art

In the Ming and Qing dynasties (approximately 14th to 19th centuries CE), nail art reached its peak in opulence, particularly within the Qing court. Both men and women of high social standing grew exceptionally long nails. For women, long nails symbolized their exemption from manual labor, while for men, they signified infinite power and noble status (Wang Jing, 2015).

To protect their long nails, Qing noblewomen wore “nail guards” made from precious materials such as gold, silver, and jade. These guards were both practical and symbolic, often intricately designed and adorned with jewels. Additionally, nail art surpassed mere dyeing during this period, with aristocratic women painting intricate designs, such as flowers and landscapes, on their nails. Gold powder and natural pigments were used to enhance the artistic appeal.

4. Modern Times: The Diversification of Nail Art Culture

Since the 20th century, Chinese nail art culture has been significantly influenced by Western trends, gradually shifting from a symbol of status and ritual to a platform for individual expression and creativity.

In the 1920s, Western nail polish entered the Chinese market, replacing traditional plant-based dyes and mineral pigments. Following the economic reforms of the 1980s, China’s nail industry rapidly expanded, and techniques such as artificial nails and gel nails became widely adopted. By the 21st century, modern technologies enabled diverse nail art styles, including hand-painting, rhinestone embellishments, and 3D nail art, which became the most popular techniques (Kim Jungmi, 2012).

During this period, traditional Chinese elements such as Peking opera masks, paper-cutting art, porcelain motifs, embroidery, and Chinese ink painting were incorporated into nail designs, showcasing the unique charm of Chinese aesthetics. Simultaneously, as environmental awareness grew, non-toxic and eco-friendly materials became a new trend in the nail industry.

5. The Cultural Significance of Chinese Nail Art

Chinese nail art culture has carried various social functions and cultural meanings throughout different historical periods:
(1)Expression of Status and Identity: From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qing dynasty, nail art served as a prominent symbol of social status, particularly among the aristocracy.
(2)A Medium for Aesthetic and Personal Expression: Nails have been used as a form of self-expression and cultural identity. From ancient practices of carving symbols into nails to modern nail art techniques, nails have become a canvas to showcase individuality and affiliation with specific cultural or ideological movements.
(3)Blending Tradition and Modernity: Modern nail art designs heavily incorporate Chinese traditional elements, creating a unique combination of global and local aesthetics that also serves as an effective vehicle for cultural export.

6. Conclusion

Chinese nail art culture has evolved over thousands of years, transforming from a marker of ritual and status to a medium for personal and artistic expression. This evolution reflects broader societal changes, economic development, and cultural innovation. As technology advances and cultures continue to blend, Chinese nail art culture will likely explore new possibilities, contributing to the global fashion scene with renewed vitality.

中国美甲文化：历史演变与现代发展
引言

中国美甲文化历史悠久，经过数千年的演变，从古代象征身份和地位的标志，发展为当代个性表达和艺术创作的平台。其起源可以追溯到商周时期，当时美甲被贵族阶层用作权力和社会地位的象征。随着时间推移，这一文化在唐宋时期蓬勃发展，从礼仪功能转向审美功能，贵族女性采用凤仙花染指等技术，展现个人优雅。到了清代，美甲文化达到奢华的顶峰，贵族女性不仅在指甲上绘制精美图案，还用贵重材料装饰指甲。
20世纪是中国美甲文化的转型期，西方指甲油进入中国市场，带来了新技术和材料，逐渐取代了传统方法。在现代，中国美甲艺术融合了传统与创新。以京剧脸谱、瓷器图案等为代表的设计元素突显了文化传承，而环保材料的使用则反映了当代的环保意识。本文探讨了中国美甲文化的历史演变，重点关注其在不同阶段的社会角色、审美意义及现代发展，展示了其如何成为文化表达的媒介以及传统与现代之间的桥梁。

摘要

中国美甲文化源远流长，历经数千年的演变，从古代的身份象征到现代的时尚潮流，其背后的文化意义与社会功能不断演变。本文系统梳理了美甲文化从商周时期至当代的发展脉络，探讨了美甲文化的变迁及其在不同历史阶段的社会功能。

一、商周时期：美甲文化的起源

中国美甲文化的起源可追溯至商周时期（约公元前16世纪至公元前3世纪），美甲在当时是身份与地位的象征，主要流行于贵族阶层。在一些宗教活动中，祭祀人员在指甲上画上不同的图案，以祈求神灵庇护。贵族女性则通过将蜂蜡、蛋白等混合涂在指甲上，以保持指甲的光泽透亮（蒋晓婉，2019）。

二、唐宋时期：美甲文化的繁荣

唐宋时期（约公元7世纪至13世纪）见证了中国经济与文化的黄金时代，美甲从礼仪功能转向审美功能，成为贵族女性日常生活的重要组成部分。随着化妆文化的兴盛，美甲融入妆容体系，成为女性优雅与品位的象征。唐宋时期，染甲日盛，工艺也日渐精湛，多以凤仙花染指，每到夏秋凤仙花盛开之际，闺中女子会采摘凤仙花，将凤仙花的花瓣捣碎。捣碎之后，将花叶取出加入少量明矾，只有加入明矾，凤仙花汁染指才会色泽鲜红，而且长期不会褪色；凤仙花汁制成之后，将指甲清洗干净，等指甲上水风干后，将丝绵做成与指甲一样大小的薄片，浸入花汁，等吸足花汁后取出，再轻轻地安放在指甲表面，然后用布条缠裹过夜，如果一次浸染不上色，那么可以多次浸染，染成之后，色彩鲜艳，数月之内不会消失。以凤仙花染指可以说是我国古代最普遍的染指方法，加上凤仙花染指色彩艳丽，持久不消，深受闺中女子喜爱（蒋晓婉，2019）。
三、明清时期：美甲文化的奢华化

明清时期（约公元14世纪至19世纪），美甲文化达到极致，尤其在清代，皇室贵族的美甲风尚奢华而独特。地位很高的男人和女人都留有超长的指甲，女人显示她们无需劳动的特权，而男人则刚显他们无穷的权利与高贵的身份（王晶，2015）。为了保护长指甲，清代贵族女性佩戴由金、银、玉等贵重材料制成的“护甲套”，这些护甲套不仅实用，更成为贵族生活的标志性器物。美甲装饰超越了涂染工艺，贵族女性在指甲上绘制花卉、山水等复杂纹饰，结合金粉和天然染料，表现出极高的艺术水准。

四、当代：美甲文化的多元化

20世纪以来，中国美甲文化受到西方潮流的显著影响，逐渐摆脱传统的礼仪与身份象征，向个性化与多样化发展。1920年代，西方指甲油产品进入中国市场，传统植物染料和天然矿物燃料逐渐被替代。改革开放后（1980年代），美甲行业在中国迅速发展，甲片、光疗美甲等技术被广泛引入，美甲设计开始流行于城市中产阶级和年轻人群体之间。进入21世纪，现代技术的应用使美甲风格更加丰富多样。手绘、钻石装饰以及3D美甲艺术在所有美甲技术中最为流行。（김정미，2012).中国风美甲在此阶段得到了广泛发展，中华优秀传统文化中提炼出的文化元素，如京剧脸谱、剪纸、瓷器、刺绣、中国画等，在美甲设计在得到了广泛的应用，展示了中国美学的独特魅力。同时，随着环保意识的增强，无毒、环保材料逐渐成为美甲行业的新趋势。

五、中国美甲文化的文化意义
中国美甲文化在不同历史时期承载了不同的社会功能与文化意义：

1. 体现身份与地位：从商周到清代，美甲始终是社会等级与身份的重要标志，尤其在贵族阶层中具有强烈的象征意义。
2. 展现审美与个性：指甲也被用作自我表达和文化认同的一种形式。从古代在指甲上雕刻符号和图案的做法，到现代美甲艺术技术，人们一直将指甲作为展示个性和表达对特定文化或信仰认同的画布。
3. 融合传统与现代元素：现代美甲设计中大量融入中国传统元素，形成了国际化与本土化的独特结合，成为文化输出的重要载体。

六、结论

中国美甲文化经过数千年的发展，从起初的礼仪与身份象征，演变为个性化与艺术化的表达方式。这一过程中，美甲文化既反映了社会经济的发展，也体现了人们对美的不断追求。未来，在科技进步和文化交融的背景下，中国美甲文化将展现出更多的可能性，为世界时尚注入新的活力。

Its cultural significance and social functions have shifted throughout history. This article systematically traces the development of nail art culture from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present day, exploring its transformation and social functions at different historical stages.

This article explores the historical evolution of Chinese nail art culture, focusing on its changing societal roles, aesthetic significance, and modern development, illustrating how it serves as a medium of cultural expression and a bridge between tradition and modernity.

1. Shang and Zhou Dynasties: The Origins of Nail Art Culture

中国美甲文化历史悠久，经过数千年的演变，从古代象征身份和地位的标志，发展为当代个性表达和艺术创作的平台。其起源可以追溯到商周时期，当时美甲被贵族阶层用作权力和社会地位的象征。随着时间推移，这一文化在唐宋时期蓬勃发展，从礼仪功能转向审美功能，贵族女性采用凤仙花染指等技术，展现个人优雅。到了清代，美甲文化达到奢华的顶峰，贵族女性不仅在指甲上绘制精美图案，还用贵重材料装饰指甲。
20世纪是中国美甲文化的转型期，西方指甲油进入中国市场，带来了新技术和材料，逐渐取代了传统方法。在现代，中国美甲艺术融合了传统与创新。以京剧脸谱、瓷器图案等为代表的设计元素突显了文化传承，而环保材料的使用则反映了当代的环保意识。本文探讨了中国美甲文化的历史演变，重点关注其在不同阶段的社会角色、审美意义及现代发展，展示了其如何成为文化表达的媒介以及传统与现代之间的桥梁。

摘要

中国美甲文化源远流长，历经数千年的演变，从古代的身份象征到现代的时尚潮流，其背后的文化意义与社会功能不断演变。本文系统梳理了美甲文化从商周时期至当代的发展脉络，探讨了美甲文化的变迁及其在不同历史阶段的社会功能。

一、商周时期：美甲文化的起源

中国美甲文化的起源可追溯至商周时期（约公元前16世纪至公元前3世纪），美甲在当时是身份与地位的象征，主要流行于贵族阶层。在一些宗教活动中，祭祀人员在指甲上画上不同的图案，以祈求神灵庇护。贵族女性则通过将蜂蜡、蛋白等混合涂在指甲上，以保持指甲的光泽透亮（蒋晓婉，2019）。

二、唐宋时期：美甲文化的繁荣

唐宋时期（约公元7世纪至13世纪）见证了中国经济与文化的黄金时代，美甲从礼仪功能转向审美功能，成为贵族女性日常生活的重要组成部分。随着化妆文化的兴盛，美甲融入妆容体系，成为女性优雅与品位的象征。唐宋时期，染甲日盛，工艺也日渐精湛，多以凤仙花染指，每到夏秋凤仙花盛开之际，闺中女子会采摘凤仙花，将凤仙花的花瓣捣碎。捣碎之后，将花叶取出加入少量明矾，只有加入明矾，凤仙花汁染指才会色泽鲜红，而且长期不会褪色；凤仙花汁制成之后，将指甲清洗干净，等指甲上水风干后，将丝绵做成与指甲一样大小的薄片，浸入花汁，等吸足花汁后取出，再轻轻地安放在指甲表面，然后用布条缠裹过夜，如果一次浸染不上色，那么可以多次浸染，染成之后，色彩鲜艳，数月之内不会消失。以凤仙花染指可以说是我国古代最普遍的染指方法，加上凤仙花染指色彩艳丽，持久不消，深受闺中女子喜爱（蒋晓婉，2019）。
三、明清时期：美甲文化的奢华化

明清时期（约公元14世纪至19世纪），美甲文化达到极致，尤其在清代，皇室贵族的美甲风尚奢华而独特。地位很高的男人和女人都留有超长的指甲，女人显示她们无需劳动的特权，而男人则刚显他们无穷的权利与高贵的身份（王晶，2015）。为了保护长指甲，清代贵族女性佩戴由金、银、玉等贵重材料制成的“护甲套”，这些护甲套不仅实用，更成为贵族生活的标志性器物。美甲装饰超越了涂染工艺，贵族女性在指甲上绘制花卉、山水等复杂纹饰，结合金粉和天然染料，表现出极高的艺术水准。

四、当代：美甲文化的多元化

20世纪以来，中国美甲文化受到西方潮流的显著影响，逐渐摆脱传统的礼仪与身份象征，向个性化与多样化发展。1920年代，西方指甲油产品进入中国市场，传统植物染料和天然矿物燃料逐渐被替代。改革开放后（1980年代），美甲行业在中国迅速发展，甲片、光疗美甲等技术被广泛引入，美甲设计开始流行于城市中产阶级和年轻人群体之间。进入21世纪，现代技术的应用使美甲风格更加丰富多样。手绘、钻石装饰以及3D美甲艺术在所有美甲技术中最为流行。（김정미，2012).中国风美甲在此阶段得到了广泛发展，中华优秀传统文化中提炼出的文化元素，如京剧脸谱、剪纸、瓷器、刺绣、中国画等，在美甲设计在得到了广泛的应用，展示了中国美学的独特魅力。同时，随着环保意识的增强，无毒、环保材料逐渐成为美甲行业的新趋势。

五、中国美甲文化的文化意义
中国美甲文化在不同历史时期承载了不同的社会功能与文化意义：

1. 体现身份与地位：从商周到清代，美甲始终是社会等级与身份的重要标志，尤其在贵族阶层中具有强烈的象征意义。
2. 展现审美与个性：指甲也被用作自我表达和文化认同的一种形式。从古代在指甲上雕刻符号和图案的做法，到现代美甲艺术技术，人们一直将指甲作为展示个性和表达对特定文化或信仰认同的画布。
3. 融合传统与现代元素：现代美甲设计中大量融入中国传统元素，形成了国际化与本土化的独特结合，成为文化输出的重要载体。

六、结论

中国美甲文化经过数千年的发展，从起初的礼仪与身份象征，演变为个性化与艺术化的表达方式。这一过程中，美甲文化既反映了社会经济的发展，也体现了人们对美的不断追求。未来，在科技进步和文化交融的背景下，中国美甲文化将展现出更多的可能性，为世界时尚注入新的活力。

Chinese Nail Art Culture: Historical Evolution and Modern Development

Abstract

Chinese nail art culture boasts a long history, evolving over thousands of years from a symbol of social status in ancient times to a modern fashion trend. Its cultural significance and social functions have shifted throughout history. This article systematically traces the development of nail art culture from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present day, exploring its transformation and social functions at different historical stages.

Introduction

Chinese nail art culture boasts a rich history, evolving over thousands of years from a marker of status and identity in ancient times to a contemporary platform for individual expression and artistry. Its origins can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, where nail art was used by the aristocracy as a symbol of power and social standing. Over time, this cultural practice flourished during the Tang and Song Dynasties, shifting from a ceremonial function to an aesthetic one, as noblewomen embraced techniques such as dyeing their nails with balsam flowers. By the Qing Dynasty, nail art reached its peak of luxury, with noblewomen employing intricate designs and adorning their nails with precious materials.

The 20th century marked a transformative period as Western nail polish entered the Chinese market, introducing new techniques and materials that gradually replaced traditional methods. In modern times, Chinese nail art has embraced a fusion of tradition and innovation. Designs featuring elements like Peking opera masks and porcelain motifs highlight the integration of cultural heritage, while eco-friendly materials reflect contemporary environmental awareness.

This article explores the historical evolution of Chinese nail art culture, focusing on its changing societal roles, aesthetic significance, and modern development, illustrating how it serves as a medium of cultural expression and a bridge between tradition and modernity.

1. Shang and Zhou Dynasties: The Origins of Nail Art Culture

The origins of Chinese nail art culture can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties (approximately 16th century BCE to 3rd century BCE), where nail art symbolized status and social standing, primarily among the aristocracy. In some religious ceremonies, participants painted symbols or patterns on their nails to seek divine protection. Noblewomen applied mixtures of beeswax and egg whites to their nails to maintain a glossy and translucent appearance (Jiang Xiaowan, 2019).

2. Tang and Song Dynasties: The Flourishing of Nail Art Culture

The Tang and Song dynasties (approximately 7th to 13th centuries CE) witnessed a golden age of Chinese economy and culture. Nail art transitioned from a ritual function to an aesthetic one, becoming an integral part of aristocratic women’s daily lives.

During this period, the use of balsam flowers to dye nails became increasingly popular. Women would crush balsam petals, mix them with alum, and apply the mixture to their nails. After wrapping their nails with cloth overnight, they achieved a vibrant red color that lasted for months. This dyeing method, celebrated for its vivid and lasting hues, was widely practiced and deeply loved by women of the era (Jiang Xiaowan, 2019).

3. Ming and Qing Dynasties: The Era of Luxurious Nail Art

In the Ming and Qing dynasties (approximately 14th to 19th centuries CE), nail art reached its peak in opulence, particularly within the Qing court. Both men and women of high social standing grew exceptionally long nails. For women, long nails symbolized their exemption from manual labor, while for men, they signified infinite power and noble status (Wang Jing, 2015).

To protect their long nails, Qing noblewomen wore “nail guards” made from precious materials such as gold, silver, and jade. These guards were both practical and symbolic, often intricately designed and adorned with jewels. Additionally, nail art surpassed mere dyeing during this period, with aristocratic women painting intricate designs, such as flowers and landscapes, on their nails. Gold powder and natural pigments were used to enhance the artistic appeal.

4. Modern Times: The Diversification of Nail Art Culture

Since the 20th century, Chinese nail art culture has been significantly influenced by Western trends, gradually shifting from a symbol of status and ritual to a platform for individual expression and creativity.

In the 1920s, Western nail polish entered the Chinese market, replacing traditional plant-based dyes and mineral pigments. Following the economic reforms of the 1980s, China’s nail industry rapidly expanded, and techniques such as artificial nails and gel nails became widely adopted. By the 21st century, modern technologies enabled diverse nail art styles, including hand-painting, rhinestone embellishments, and 3D nail art, which became the most popular techniques (Kim Jungmi, 2012).

During this period, traditional Chinese elements such as Peking opera masks, paper-cutting art, porcelain motifs, embroidery, and Chinese ink painting were incorporated into nail designs, showcasing the unique charm of Chinese aesthetics. Simultaneously, as environmental awareness grew, non-toxic and eco-friendly materials became a new trend in the nail industry.

5. The Cultural Significance of Chinese Nail Art

Chinese nail art culture has carried various social functions and cultural meanings throughout different historical periods:
(1)Expression of Status and Identity: From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qing dynasty, nail art served as a prominent symbol of social status, particularly among the aristocracy.
(2)A Medium for Aesthetic and Personal Expression: Nails have been used as a form of self-expression and cultural identity. From ancient practices of carving symbols into nails to modern nail art techniques, nails have become a canvas to showcase individuality and affiliation with specific cultural or ideological movements.
(3)Blending Tradition and Modernity: Modern nail art designs heavily incorporate Chinese traditional elements, creating a unique combination of global and local aesthetics that also serves as an effective vehicle for cultural export.

6. Conclusion

Chinese nail art culture has evolved over thousands of years, transforming from a marker of ritual and status to a medium for personal and artistic expression. This evolution reflects broader societal changes, economic development, and cultural innovation. As technology advances and cultures continue to blend, Chinese nail art culture will likely explore new possibilities, contributing to the global fashion scene with renewed vitality.

Please download the powerpoint presentation of the teacher here: [[Media:08_Chin_Lang_Cult_2024.pptx]].

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.

Welcome to Chinese Language and Culture 2024

THU (19:00-19:45,19:55-20:40,20:50-21:35) 至善楼105 MA2 (23级笔译口译 Translation & Interpretation) 中国语言文化 Chinese Language and Culture 2024, Textbook: Woesler 2024, 1 5.9., 2 12.9., 3 19.9., 4 26.9., 5 10.10., 6 17.10., 7 24.10., 8 31.10., 9 7.11., 10 14.11., 11 21.11., 12 28.11., 13 5.12., 14 12.12., 15 19.12., 16 26.12.

=Grading Criteria for Powerpoint Presentations=
#Was the presentation based on scientific facts, did the presenter also conduct some research on the topic and did he/she also add her own experience or her own opinion/perspective and marking the two different perspectives as factual/subjective? Did the presentation avoid absolute judgments like "good" or "best", but did it instead use vocabulary like "fascinating", "surprising" etc. and also indicated to whom it is fascinating/surprising etc. and why?
#Was the presentation successful? Did it catch the attention of the audience over the whole time? Was the presenter persuading? Was the audience excited/fascinated? Did the audience learn something? (Or was the audience bored and talked the whole time without paying attention to the presenter?)
#Formal things: Was the speaker good to hear (loud/clear)? Did he make a self-confident impression and did he know his topic? Did the speaker speak freely and not read out? Where there meaningful pictures and graphs on the slides and only a few keywords, well sorted by numbers or bullet points (or was the powerpoint merely a text desert of small size script with the script being copied onto the slides)?
#Was the presentation appropriate to the topic?
#Was the activity part meaningful and appropriate to the topic? Did it speak to everyone in the audience individually?
#Was the presentation not too short and not too long in time, but as long as the other presentations, so that all presentations of the day could be presented?
#Did the presentation consider the same cultural phenomenon both in China and in other countries, at least as a comparison?
#Did the presentation avoid mistakes like reading out text in a boring way, pronounciation mistakes, typos in the English text?
#Did you indicate the sources you have used at least on the last page of your presentation in the form of a list?
#Did you upload your ppt file successfully (if not, did you contact the teaching assistant to upload)?
#Did you present your ppt file in the full screen mode?
#Did you arrive early in classroom to copy your file onto the desktop of the class computer and did you check it and also any embedded or accompanying video files etc. if everything works properly including sound?
#Did the presentation avoid deadly mistakes like plagiarism, using ai without indicating it (if you use ai to create the presentation, you need to indicate the platform and the full prompt you gave to ai and the main adjustments you did to the prompt), using ideology, patriotism, politics, religious beliefs, advertisement for products, ignorance (e.g. that a cultural phenomenon is wide spread in Asia and the origin is unclear, but claiming it was Chinese and originated in China), racism, prejudices, telling lies, spreading false rumors etc.?

=Session 8 Thursday Oct 31, 2024 19:00-21:35=

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.
