Speaker
Description
Multiword Sequences (MWSs)—combinations of words that frequently appear together in speech or writing—are an important part of language proficiency. Having a creative, collaborative, and communicative means to support the teaching and learning of MWSs is essential. One such tool is Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this workshop, I will demonstrate how I have used Google Gemini and ChatGPT at my university, both in and out of the classroom, to support students’ acquisition of MWSs.
Participants will learn about the importance of exposing their students to Multiword Sequences (MWSs) as an essential part of second language vocabulary acquisition. They will also be provided with some possible uses for Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically Google Gemini and ChatGPT, in lessons and assignments to support the learning of MWSs. Participants will increase their awareness of the positive and negative points of using AI in language education. This knowledge will assist them with using AI tools to effectively teach MWSs so that their students can obtain a better command of MWSs and improve their language proficiency and oral fluency.
