ABSTRACT

The rapid advancement of AI and its use in educational settings has raised fundamental questions about authorship, assessment, and pedagogical design. This presentation examines how educators can integrate AI tools effectively while addressing concerns about originality, academic learning, and critical thinking. It first provides a brief evaluation of AI detection tools, such as Turnitin’s AI writing indicator, highlighting their limitations and exploring possible solutions. The discussion then shifts to practical applications of AI in language learning, specifically looking at task design and how it could be optimized to align with AI’s evolving capabilities. Specific, in-depth examples of possible work that can be done outside and inside the classroom will be presented, along with useful prompts to teach students and strategies for ensuring student accountability when engaging in AI-assisted tasks. By examining AI-integrated lesson design, this session provides educators with practical approaches to fostering student engagement, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving in technology-enhanced classrooms.
