Are you ready to bring the power of generative AI into your ESL/EFL classroom—without losing sight of what makes great teaching truly human?
In this engaging, hands-on workshop, Oscar Víquez will guide you through how AI tools like ChatGPT can enhance language learning without replacing the teacher’s vital role. You’ll explore concrete classroom applications, from building interactive prompts and conversation practice to designing tasks that boost output, feedback, and learner autonomy. But more than tools, you'll gain a principled
decision-making framework to evaluate and implement AI in ways that align with your pedagogical values.
Rooted in communicative language teaching, second language acquisition research, the TPACK framework, and humanistic approaches, this workshop emphasizes
AI as a partner, not a replacement. You’ll also address critical issues like ethics, cultural responsiveness, student creativity, and digital literacy—ensuring AI serves
your learners, not the other way around.
Whether you’re curious, cautious, or already experimenting with AI in your teaching, this session will equip you with:
- Practical lesson ideas ready to try
- A clear understanding of AI’s strengths and limitations
- Insights from global research and real classroom use
- Strategies for empowering students to use AI responsibly
