About the presentation:
The main goal of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT) is to equip learners with the capacity to be critical and ethical digital citizens in the modern world (Reiss, 2021). This presentation outlines a proposed pilot framework that seeks to provide educators with an effective approach on how to embed AI ethically in the language classroom by providing pedagogical principles and clear plans for actions. The framework includes three parts: scenario-based learning, reflective tasks, and curricular integration strategies.
