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 21: IATEFL Conference 2026
Title: Finding Their Drive: Authentic Learning for AI-Savvy Students
Place: in-person, Brighton, Empress room
Time: 10:50-11:35 am (UK time)
Blurb: Most language learners have already become skilled at using GenAI. But how does it affect their motivation and expectations about their own education? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll take a deeper look at the AI-savvy student’s commitment to learning and explore strategies to keep them engaged, making digital shortcuts a less appealing option.
