The Language Teaching in the Age of AI course explores the role of technology, digital tools, and AI in language teaching and learning. The aim of the course is to equip language teachers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to integrate AI effectively into their lessons.

Participants consider the role of this cutting-edge technology and identify the benefits and challenges of incorporating AI into language instruction. They explore how AI tools might be used to create teaching resources and learning materials; to adapt and supplement more traditional resources and reduce planning time; to incorporate dynamic and interactive elements to their lessons for increased student engagement. They look at using technology to implement a flipped classroom and design effective and purposeful homework assignments. 

The course also looks at student-centred AI applications, exploring tools that support individualised language learning paths and ways of personalising instruction and assessment. Exploring digital assessment tools, participants address issues of fairness, authenticity and reliability in digital assessment. 

The course is practical, where participants engage in hands-on activities, collaborative discussions, and reflective exercises to reinforce their learning. Participants also carry out practical work to plan, create and teach a lesson using AI, and will finish the course with a digital portfolio of resources. Participants can take the opportunity to join ATC’s Teachers Forum where they can access continued support and sharing of best practice after the course has finished.
