School of Languages at XJTLU Conference 2024
Attending this event?
We find ourselves at a pivotal moment where the role of generative AI and other technological tools is reshaping the way we teach and learn languages. The question that lies before us is not whether these innovations will shape the future, but rather how we, as educators, will harness their potential to create meaningful and effective language instruction.
 
The title of our conference, No Fate: The Future is Not Set, underscores our belief that the future is not predetermined. We hope that our conference will serve both as a platform for collaboration and a catalyst for change as it is via the collective effort of educators, researchers, and innovators that the trajectory of language teaching and learning will be determined. By fostering collaboration, sharing insights, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible, we can shape the future of language education.

This presentation illustrates how debate, multimedia (short films or video clips), and traditional tasks can seamlessly integrate into an advanced Mandarin course. By incorporating these elements, the course not only fosters comprehension, discussion, critical thinking, and writing abilities but also offers valuable insights into the society and culture of the target language. Through a redesigned approach, activities such as essay writing, listening, speaking, and reading exercises are transformed into dynamic engagements designed to alleviate stress and nurture confidence across all language learning skills. 该演示展示了辩论、多媒体(短片或视频剪辑)和传统任务与高级普通话课程的整合。它增强理解、讨论、批判性思维和写作技巧,同时提供对目标语言的社会和文化的见解。课程重新设计将任务如论文写作、听力、口语和阅读练习转变为引人入胜的活动,旨在减轻压力并灌输对所有语言学习技能的信心。
