Abstract
This study investigates the evolutionary impact of applying artificial intelligence (AI) technology to foreign language education. By employing complex systems thinking, the relationship between foreign language education and AI technology is explored, and dynamic models are employed to analyze the evolutionary patterns of AI technology in foreign language education. Through model analysis and numerical simulations, the interactive effects between foreign language education and AI technology in different modes are revealed. The findings demonstrate that, under different coupling modes, foreign language education and AI technology can achieve self-organizing evolution. When the interaction coefficient between foreign language education and AI technology is appropriately set, AI technology exhibits emergent properties for foreign language education. Lastly, suggestions are presented to promote the sound development of foreign language education and AI technology.

Abstract
Abstract The article focuses on the consumption of goods used by consumers of different generations from 3 different countries: Albania, Polish and Portugal. The aim of the analysis was to identify respondents‘ indications concerning: (1) knowledge of the definition of the circular economy, (2) declared by respondents places of purchase of used products and (3) type of purchased products used by respondents. The analysis was conducted among 495 respondents from Albania, Polish and Portugal representing three generations (X, Y, Z). Correspondence analysis was used for statistical data analysis. Statistically significant differences in knowledge of the definition of the circular economy were shown between respondents from Albania, Polish and Portugal. It was also found that respondents‘ preferences regarding the place of purchase of second-hand goods are differentiated (at a statistically significant level) by nationality and year of birth (generation). The obtained results open the possibility of further research aimed at identifying different behaviors among these groups of consumers. The presented work, both in the cognitive and application part, can be a source of knowledge and popularization of research, as well as a source of inspiration for in-depth reflection and scientific discussion. The analyses presented in the publication may complement the existing research in the field of circular economy. Extending the survey to other EU countries can help define a strategy for policymakers, manufacturers and retailers to make greater use of circular economy solutions, while maintaining the viability of their operations.
