作为解放的语言 - Linguistic Justice: Black, 土著, and Queer Languaging
Recorded: August 29, 2024
会议简介: 富人, 富有想象力的, 大胆的, and affirming languaging of historically (and presently) marginalized and minoritized communities can inform our teaching practice and lead us toward abolitionist pedagogies that promote liberation and joy for all learners. 在这个市政厅, we will explore some of the language ideologies and practices of Black, 土著, and Queer speech communities (recognizing that these communities and identities are intersectional), turning specific attention to how the languaging of these communities can support our endeavors toward linguistic justice in our language teaching and programming.

Equitable, Imaginative, and Justice-Centered AI in WLE
录制日期:2024年5月30日
会议简介: As generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies continue to become more sophisticated and accessible, there has been growing interest and debate about the role of AI in world language education (WLE). These conversations have addressed topics such as academic integrity, 语言程序设计, and the implications of computer-assisted and distance learning, 等. 作为教育者, 学生, and researchers are still figuring out how, if, 当, and to what extent to embrace AI, this town hall will demystify some elements of AI in WLE. 具体地说, we will examine instructional strategies, 工作流, and philosophical considerations for the successful implementation of AI in WLE to promote equitable and justice-centered outcomes for diverse learners.

These connections span diverse educational contexts (preK-12, post-secondary, etc.) as well as a variety of instructional modes (face-to-face, virtual, study abroad, etc.). 在一起, we will explore how transdisciplinary connections can shape a WLE research landscape that centers themes of justice and liberation.
