The aim of this series of sessions, delivered both in person and online, is to equip learners with essential digital tools for academic and specialised purposes. Participants will explore a selection of online resources designed to enhance their skills in academic writing, as well as translation and editing. A significant portion of the material will be dedicated to the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in language learning, including a critical examination of potential biases embedded within these technologies. Practical applications of AI will be demonstrated, alongside a thorough examination of academic integrity, strategies for avoiding plagiarism and respecting copyright in the digital age. By the end of this course, students will be able to leverage digital resources effectively and ethically, with an enhanced understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by AI in language learning and written production in academic English.
In-person sessions will involve collaborative tool exploration, ethical AI use case discussions, hands-on AI comparison exercises, copyright and plagiarism workshops, and peer feedback on translation and editing tasks.
Online sessions will include live Zoom sessions with AI tool demonstrations and application tasks, online forum discussions on AI bias, collaborative online document work, and online quizzes on academic integrity and plagiarism.
