Abstract
The rapid advancement of AI and its increasing use in educational settings have raised fundamental questions regarding authorship, assessment, academic integrity, and pedagogical design. This presentation expands on a presentation delivered last year, incorporating an additional year of accumulated experience, classroom implementation, and material development. It will present specific, in-depth examples of AI-integrated tasks conducted both inside and outside the classroom, illustrating how such tasks can be designed to support language development while maintaining student accountability. In addition, recently developed textbook materials created specifically to support AI-mediated learning, along with an updated classroom AI policy, will be introduced and discussed.
The presentation will also examine a theoretical framework grounded in sociocultural theory, with emphasis on Vygotsky’s Activity Theory as a foundation for curriculum and task design in AI-enhanced learning environments. Building on this framework, the presentation proposes future research into how both students and teachers construct, adapt, and refine mental models in response to the rapidly evolving nature of AI. Particular attention will be given to how AI-integrated tasks and lessons have reshaped learners’ relationships with language learning, agency, and the role of human expertise within technology-mediated classrooms.
Short summary
The rapid advancement of AI in education has raised critical questions about authorship, assessment, and pedagogy. This presentation expands on prior work by presenting concrete examples of AI-integrated tasks used inside and outside the classroom, supported by newly developed materials and an updated AI policy. Through Vygotsky’s Activity Theory it presents a new framework for pedagogical design. It explores how AI reshapes, learner agency, and students’ relationships with language learning.
