AI’s impact on education and in many other areas of our lives dominates public and specialist discourse, and is a hot topic of interest among LD SIG members. Through this collaborative writing project, we aim to expand our understanding of the affordances and challenges of AI in our classrooms through meaningful exploration of a topic that is affecting us all.
If you are interested in exploring questions like the following, please consider submitting a proposal for Learner Development in the Age of AI:
How do language practitioners and language learners use AI tools in their everyday activities?
What productive uses of AI can we explore in supporting and scaffolding towards greater learner autonomy?
How can we minimize over-reliance on AI and protect learning integrity?
How should we deal with issues of ethical AI use, ownership, and bias?
How can we develop digital literacy through guard-railing and self-regulation?
In what ways can AI contribute to language skills development?
