    AI technology has taken a huge leap, with developments offering many benefits for language education, but also posing challenges. This session introduces a range of useful AI tools and demonstrates productive ways they can be used to assist teachers and foster learning. It also explores how to reduce unethical use by students and increase their AI literacy. There will be opportunities to try some of the tasks that are introduced, so attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop, tablet and/or smartphone.

Her research areas include learner autonomy, motivation, and the use of technology for language teaching and learning.

  • Highlights from M.E.E.S. 2015

    It’s been about twenty-four hours since M.E.E.S. 2015 wrapped up and I thought I would share some photos of the conference. I don’t really want to get into specifics. If you read the live-blog post,  you’ll have an idea of what the speakers were presenting on. If you missed out, there is always next year. I’d like to thank all the organizers and volunteers for the work they put into M.E.E.S. this year.
