WEBINAR RECORDING
TITLE: What Matters: Culturally and Ecologically Responsive Designs
DATE: Dec 10, 2024
TIME: 4:00–4:30 p.m. EDT
DETAILS:
The rise of AI technology provides unprecedented opportunities to support diverse learners’ language and literacy development. Developing and implementing pedagogical innovation integrating technology to support multilingual learners is not optional, but required, otherwise, many of these learners will fall behind at an accelerating rate, with classroom instruction disconnected from the reality of most learners. During this webinar, panelists will discuss how to integrate technology effectively in advancing diverse learners’ academic vocabulary knowledge, reading and writing skills. They will show lessons learned from their own intervention studies starting from early usage of online dictionaries to support hypertext reading comprehension, moving onto Web 2.0 technologies, such as social media, smart phone technologies to support vocabulary acquisition and academic writing. This leads now onto generative AI-assisted discourse analysis to support corpus-based data driven learning. Critical alignments are required for instructional designs between complex cultural and ecological factors and technology affordance, which significantly impacts the implementation fidelity of language pedagogical innovations—teaching practices—, learner experiences and outcomes.
