1. Content and Engagement:
A. Visual Poster: A large, visually engaging poster will serve as the centerpiece, divided into four quadrants that detail each module of the "AI Applied to ELT" course:
a. AI Fundamentals & Design Thinking
b. AI for Enhancing English Skills
c. AI for Personalized Lesson Planning
d. AI for Assessment & Feedback
B. Live Demonstration: A laptop will be used to provide a live, 2-minute demonstration of a key AI tool for lesson plan generation or creating personalized reading materials.
C. Interactive Artifacts: QR codes will be featured prominently, allowing attendees to instantly access and interact with student-created projects, such as an AI-powered learning assistant or a showcase video.
2. Process and Interaction Flow:
(0-2 min): Greet attendees and provide a concise overview of the project, explaining how it empowers pre-service English teachers.
(2-4 min): Conduct the live demonstration on the laptop, showcasing a practical application of AI in ELT.
(4-6 min): Guide attendees to use the QR codes to explore student work on their own devices, facilitating a hands-on experience.
(6-7+ min): Engage in personalized Q&A, share resources, and discuss how the framework could be adapted to attendees' specific school environments.
After this session, participants will be able to:
1. Design authentic, learner-driven English language activities by using AI tools to adapt and personalize content, ensuring that learning experiences accommodate diverse student differences and needs.
2. Implement a design process for creating novel educational solutions, such as AI-powered learning assistants or automated formative assessments, that guide students toward mastering language skills.
3. Evaluate and select AI tools for their classroom by applying a framework that prioritizes ethical use, pedagogical soundness, and the potential to provide timely, constructive feedback to students.
