AI Literacy in the Language Classroom - Welcome!
Welcome to our book's Substack, where we aim to post all kinds of additional material, such as unpublished and completely new activities, interviews, tips, and many more!
What is the book about?
AI Literacy in the Language Classroom is the language teacher’s go-to guide for understanding how AI tools can make a real difference in the classroom. It shows teachers and students how to use AI tools to support learning in practical, meaningful ways. This book walks teachers through:
What AI is
How it works behind the scenes
Why it is so valuable for students today and in the future
How teachers can bring it into their lessons
Engaging, ready-to-use classroom activities
Tips for growing as a teacher in the age of AI
Is there more to know about the book?
Part A kicks off by defining the basics of AI. It explains how it has become such a big part of our daily lives, the different types of AI, and how they work. Teachers will see how AI tools are being used in the real world and pick up some solid advice for teaching AI literacy in their classroom.
Part B has five chapters of activities for teaching AI literacy. These cover all teachers need to know about AI, from getting started with basic tools and understanding the risks, to using AI for personalised and creative learning.
Part C is divided into two sections. The first describes some common challenges that teachers may face when teaching AI literacy, offering reflective tasks to help them tackle these issues while also building their confidence in teaching AI literacy. The second gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the authors have used AI tools to write the book, including examples of how the human and AI sides have teamed up to design some of the sections and activities.
