Decoding AI: Empowering stakeholders in language learning and assessment contexts

We are delighted to invite you to the first of our pre-conference webinars providing a taster of the topics and themes that will be covered at New Directions East Asia 2024 supported by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok this November, "Decoding AI: Empowering stakeholders in language learning and assessment contexts".

Date: Wednesday September 11

Time: 4pm Bangkok time (UTC+7)

This complimentary webinar is an excellent opportunity for professionals involved in the English language learning industry to gain valuable insights into the rapidly evolving world of AI-driven language learning and assessment solutions.

In a world where language learning and assessment solutions are increasingly driven by AI, it is imperative that all stakeholders in the educational ecosystem understand the principles behind these technologies as well as their capabilities and limitations. AI can bring enormous benefits when used responsibly, but it can also have disastrous consequences if we are not aware of or mitigate any potential risks. Making informed decisions about what tools are appropriate and when and how to use them is crucial for success, so learning to assess the technical suitability and societal impact of these tools is a skill we must develop.

During this webinar, you will:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of must-know concepts in AI.

  • Learn how AI can benefit different stakeholders in the English language learning industry.
  • Discover ways to use AI tools responsibly and effectively.
  • Understand how to identify and minimize potential risks associated with AI in education.
  • Enhance your ability to make informed decisions about AI tools and their applications.
