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 paper presentation is a report on how we integrate technology into the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language, which can be applied to the teaching of other world languages. The presentation starts with some fundamental guiding questions: what are the strengths and limitations of technology in the context of language teaching? Can we improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning if technology is integrated into our curriculum? What specific pedagogical problems can it help solve? How can it be integrated meaningfully and effectively into various phases of our curriculum of teaching world languages? Specific instructional examples will be used to illustrate the use of various instruments such as Flipgrid, Jamboard, ChatGPT, Padlet, Zoom to help promote better collaboration and more effective teaching and learning of CFL.
