TITLE: Teaching Multilingual Learners with Generative AI: Affordances, Limitations, and Policy Implications
DATE: March 12, 2024
TIME: 4:00–4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time

DETAILS: This webinar explores how teachers can use generative artificial intelligence (GAI) to maximize access to content and agency in literacy learning for multilingual learners (MLs). Join CAL Board member Ester de Jong of the University of Colorado and CAL’s Director of PK-12 Language and Literacy, Kia Johnson, for an insightful conversation with Kevin Donley of Georgetown University. The speakers will discuss how AI tools, such as ChatGPT, can expand possibilities for teachers to practice linguistically responsive pedagogies. Listen for examples of how teachers can enhance existing scaffolds and accommodations, create new multilingual content, and facilitate multimodal and multilingual writing activities through student-generated text prompts, such as generating and requesting changes to images.
