dc.description.abstractThis paper explores how language and digitalization impact older adults’ well-being. Collaboration - across linguists, psychologists, and technologists- is key to creating inclusive digital experiences. Actuality: Social change is a dynamic process intertwined with innovations and demographics. The impact of demographic evolution on economies and competitiveness presents intriguing challenges. This paper focuses on the actions to ensure inclusion and wellbeing for older individuals. Purpose: The research aims to demonstrate that studying a foreign language enables the promotion of active ageing. Specifically, we explore how learning a language can enhance cognitive performance, well-being, inclusion, and the reduction of social inequalities. Research Methods: Based on field analysis and experience in teaching across different age groups, the results highlight the convergence of language and digitalization within the context of older adults’ wellbeing. Specifically, we explore how linguistic changes occur as individuals age and how digital tools intersect with communication patterns. Results: Language acquisition emerges as a powerful tool for promoting social inclusion in the longevity society. Additionally, technology assistance through language learning apps will make it easier for seniors to build vocabulary, improve grammar, and achieve fluency. Our findings enable the planning of targeted didactics and the creation of basic-level teaching materials tailored to the needs and characteristics of identified subjects.
