Artificial Intelligence is becoming an increasingly visible presence in education, reshaping how teachers design learning activities, support learners, assess performance, and reflect on their professional practice. In English Language Teaching, generative AI tools are now used for materials creation, feedback, tutoring-style interaction, and lesson planning, raising both pedagogical opportunities and ethical challenges. This proseminar introduces key concepts behind contemporary AI and explores how these technologies can be used responsibly and effectively in ELT.
The course combines short input sessions with workshops and discussion. Students will work hands-on with selected generative AI models, practise prompt writing and prompting strategies for ELT, and evaluate chatbot output in terms of accuracy, coherence, bias, and reliability. We will examine current trends in education, AI competency frameworks for students and teachers, and practical implications for assessment, learning design, and professional development. Ethical and social issues run throughout the course, including transparency, data privacy, academic integrity, fairness, sustainability, and institutional guidelines for AI use.
This proseminar emphasises active participation, curiosity, and experimentation. Credit is based on in-class engagement and short Moodle tasks, with regular attendance required. The course is intended for future English teachers and students interested in educational technologies.
