Mastering the Scales of AI Literacy is a three-part professional workshop development series for all language educators, especially those interested in teaching with AI. As AI continues to develop at a rapid place, so do expectations for the use of AI in the world language classroom. AI literacy, defined as “a set of competencies that enables individuals to critically evaluate AI technologies; communicate and collaborate effectively with AI; and use AI as a tool online, at home, and in the workplace (Long & Magerko, 2020, p. 2), is of increasing importance for students and teachers alike. This AI-focused professional development series uses the structure of the AI Literacy Framework (A Framework for AI Literacy, n.d.) scales: Understand AI; Use and Apply AI; Analyze and Evaluate AI; Create AI as the basis for the skills developed in the workshop. All workshops were designed to assist instructors with developing their own classroom policies and practices for using AI.  

Workshop 3: Task-based use of AI in the World Language Writing Classroom 

In many articles that are supportive of the integration of generative AI into the world language classroom, authors especially tout the benefits of generative AI in the writing process. This workshop seeks to address these claims while also proposing that a task-based approach is an especially effective complement to world language writing. Using the TBLT task sequence, participants will design a lesson for their students based on a multi-step drafting process while integrating generative AI into the process.
