The Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy presents "Integrating Online Translators and other AI Tools in Language Instruction" with Errol M. O'Neill from the University of Memphis.

Instructional technologies have revolutionized the way students learn and educators teach world languages. Online machine translators and generative AI – two types of artificial intelligence tools that are available to the general public – represent both an exciting opportunity and a potential risk for language instruction. This webinar will take a three-pronged approach to the issue of AI integration in the context of world language courses. 

First, research related to the use of online translators and AI chatbots and their effects on language learning will be reviewed. Next, specific policies and activity types will be explored that allow for responsible use of these and related technologies. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to collaborate with other attendees to construct an activity incorporating online translator and AI chatbot usage that reflects their own priorities and the needs of their learners.
