Summary
In this two-hour online workshop, Dr Creely shared ideas and insights to support educators to harness artificial intelligence as a transformative tool for English language learners.
The session covered the foundational concepts of AI literacy and explored the use of AI to support learners in the classroom. Teachers learnt how to employ generative AI for translanguaging activities that validate home languages whilst building English proficiency. Participants worked together in small groups to explore various generative AI tools, strategies for crafting effective prompts that generate scaffolded writing exercises, AI for vocabulary practice, and AI for grammar support. The use of AI to tailor teaching to diverse proficiency levels was a core consideration across all activities.
Throughout the workshop, Dr Creely encouraged participants to discuss and reflect on the ethical considerations and digital citizenship principles essential for responsible AI integration.
