The
3-day workshop provides a fundamental introduction to AI, tailored for language
teachers new to the AI field. Through interactive, hands-on activities,
participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of AI and create
directions, its relevance in education, and practical strategies for
incorporating AI into their teaching methods. They explore real-world examples
and case studies of good practice and learn successful implementation of AI in
language education. In addition, the workshop will provide practical tips and
guidance to enable language teachers to confidently integrate AI into their
classrooms using a variety of tools, including chatbots, visual and design
tools, lesson design and content creation tools, teaching assistants,
quiz/assessment generators and collaboration and communication. By the end of
the course, teachers will have the necessary knowledge, skills and ethical
awareness to use AI tools effectively, ensuring their students are well
prepared for an increasingly common future of AI. During the workshop, language
teachers will work together with language teachers from the host adult
education center in the host country.
