Description

This session demonstrates how Google Docs can improve accountability in book review assignments in university Extensive Reading classes in the age of AI. Today, students can easily generate summaries and book reviews using AI tools, making it difficult to confirm whether they actually read the books they selected. To address this issue, I use Google Docs to track students’ writing processes through revision history across in-class and out-of-class book review assignments. This approach encourages more authentic responses, increases student accountability, and helps teachers evaluate students’ reading engagement. The activity is designed for first-year university students (CEFR A2–B1) in Japan.
