Description
 
How can instructors tailor the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Hume.AI, DALL-E,
etc. to accommodate diverse language proficiency levels among adult learners? Are there any
privacy or ethical considerations when incorporating AI and creative tools like DALL-E into language
instruction for newcomers? What about the rising issue of AI-generated plagiarism? How can you
effectively integrate the trifecta of text, images, and audio into your existing lesson plans?
This workshop will guide instructors through the potential of AI tools (text, image, audio) in language
education. Participants will witness live demonstrations showcasing the tools' capabilities, from text
generation for lesson plans with ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini, to the visual creativity of DALL-E,
Stable Diffusion & MidJourney (the free versions) for enhanced comprehension, and the audio
dialogue generation of MURF for improved listening and speaking. We will also touch briefly on the
up and coming AI-generated VIDEOS
