About Professor Jérémie Séror's talk
In a world where people increasingly live, work, and learn alongside powerful, but also, potentially dangerous forms of AI, language educators must balance technological innovation with ever more complex ethical, legal, and pedagogical safeguards.
This session explores the practical and ethical considerations as well as the emerging frameworks associated with the work of learning to navigate and deploy AI safely while minimizing its inherent risks (such as privacy concerns, bias, data management challenges, and the erosion of agency) both for teachers and students. Participants will examine the decisions, practices, and safeguards that can be put into place — both in their own personal lives and in their classrooms — to ensure AI-mediated language education is implemented in a manner that supports thoughtful, transparent, responsible AI use.
About the conference
CASLT’s Virtual PL Days provide a platform for teachers to connect with colleagues, engage in interactive professional learning opportunities, and share best practices. Our experienced team of professional learning facilitators will explore research-informed teaching approaches and strategies to inspire, motivate, and challenge teachers to improve their practice.
This year’s Virtual PL Day will focus on a single, timely theme: artificial intelligence (AI) in language education. Feedback from our members highlights a clear need for practical support, space to explore emerging tools, and opportunities to discuss the pedagogical, ethical, and equity implications of AI in additional language teaching contexts.
