April 20: IATEFL Conference, TTEdSIG Pre-Conference Event

Title: Don’t just use it, use it well! - AI literacy for teachers and students

Place: in-person, Brighton

Time: 9:30 am - 5:00 pm (UK time)

Blurb: As we’re becoming more and more used to using AI in our teaching, we now have time to deal with something that’s even more important than how we can grade student papers with it. And that is whether we should use it to grade student papers in the first place? Or what to do with students cyberbullying each other with deepfakes or believing information or sources to be true when, in fact, they are AI-generated? Being skilled users of AI actually starts at becoming AI literate, so in this hands-on workshop, we’re going to look at what AI literacy is, why it’s important, and what activities we can try to improve our students’ and our own AI literacy.

April 25: Műfordítói workshopbörze (MEGY)

Cím: Elveszett-e a Paradicsom?

Hely: Goethe Institut, Nagymező utca 54-56.

Idő: 14:00

Leírás: Vajon mire gondolna ezt a címet látván az MI? Képes vajon olyan kiterjesztettebb kontextusbeli utalásokat megérteni, amit mi emberek azonnal felfogunk? Mit tud a gép a stílusról, a szerzői hangról, a kulturális utalásokról? És mit nem érthet meg soha? Ezen a gyakorlati foglalkozáson az a célunk, hogy együtt nézzük meg közelebbről mit csinál jól az MI, hol vérzik el, és hogy van-e egyáltalán helye a fordítói műhelyünkben. Szójátékok, szövegelemzés, közös nyomozás – és egy paradicsom, aki végül lehet, hogy megtalálja a kiutat.

May 30: Hamburg English Language Teaching Association (HELTA)

Title: AI for language teachers

Blurb: We can quite confidently say that AI is here for good. And you’ve probably already tried a couple of ideas to generate tasks and materials for your lessons. In this webinar, we will collect and synthesise the different ways you have used GenAI for lesson planning and activity creation, and add further ideas to the bag. But we will also look at a crucial thing that should come way before experimenting with task generation, and that is AI literacy. This means that teachers as well as students consciously consider the tools they use and the data they share. It also means that we are all aware of the hidden biases, hallucinations, misrepresentations that AI responses might contain. Come along to find out more about using GenAI before, during, and after your lessons!
