Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence focused on helping computers understand, interpret, and generate human language. It enables tools like Copilot to process questions, summarize texts, and carry on conversations. NLP combines linguistics and computer science to make communication between people and machines more natural. In education, NLP powers applications such as automated feedback, text analysis, and language learning tools. While powerful, NLP systems may struggle with nuance, tone, or context, so human oversight remains important. Understanding NLP helps users engage more effectively with AI-driven language tools.
