Description

Learning about GenAI? Mat and Phil talk about the first four (of ten) knowledge areas and skills language teachers should aim to have now: prompting, ethics, chatbots, and translation. Combining practical examples with theoretical insights, they discuss these knowledge areas and skills in more detail than they could give in their paper: AI and the future of language teaching: Motivating Sustained Integrated Professional Development (SIPD). This is the second episode of the series and also the second discussion of the position paper on SIPD; episode 1 looked at the technical underpinnings of GenAI.
