Mapping AI to Teacher Knowledge and Learning Standards
Mapping AI to Teacher Knowledge and Learning Standards
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping all aspects of language education. This presentation will focus on the practical applications of AI in support of language education. We will first address the knowledge and skills that teachers need to build in order to develop AI fluency, and effectively integrate AI into the conceptualization, design, and implementation of language learning experiences. Then we will explore how AI can help foster engaging language learning. Practical examples will illustrate how AI can be mapped to the standards and promote learner autonomy.
