Empowering Language Teachers to Leverage AI for Student Success—New!
This institute will give teachers greater insight into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to improve language learning within their educational context. Participants will first explore the brave new world of AI, considering what it does well and what it does not. They will also discuss ways to keep students and their data safe while working with AI. Participants will then learn how to effectively use AI to make lesson planning easier and activity design more engaging. During the institute, participants will have plenty of hands-on opportunities to create lesson plans and activities to use right away in their classrooms.
Target Audience:
This institute is designed for world language educators at the middle through postsecondary levels and language teacher educators. The institute is not appropriate for teachers of young children.
