Me too! This semester seems like an AI experiment in many ways. How do we preserve the best of the classical writing techniques while adding the new cultural context? Let’s see what evolves!

Thank you, also, for the kind words about my recent “chalkboards to chatbots” presentation. We’ve lived through other profound technological changes, and we have thrived. English teachers can adopt AI tools that help students write and speak more clearly in English. Students may outsource phone #s to smartphones, but how many will want to outsource their own perceptions and reactions to a computer? Many will still want to express themselves in both writing and speaking English. And we’re still in the early days. The future remains open with many positive possibilities.

Thank you for another deep dive into some big #TESOL questions as AI tools rapidly expand. Some #teaching practices will have to evolve because helping students realize their goals. AI allows greater student autonomy. How much longer will #English remain the lingua franca? #TEFL

How have edtech tools evolved over the 20 years? I chronicled my experiences and perceptions in “Chalkboards to Chatbots: Exploring Edtech Tools and Sharing Some Emerging Best Practices” at #DLIELC. AI tools can accelerate learning, deepen language skills, and spark curiosity.

Can English teachers find practical ways to provide meaningful feedback and create a fun atmosphere in class? @DIESOLpod co-host Brent Warner shared some savvy suggestions in this lively #ELT presentation. youtube.com/watch?v=FWbjtQN9…
