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.

Amid the increasing global significance of China's economy, more international students recognize the importance of mastering business Chinese. Exploring business news not only enhances language skills but also offers valuable insights into China's economic landscape, fostering cross-cultural understanding and opening diverse career paths. Responding to this growing demand, Read Business Chinese (RBC), an innovative online business Chinese reading website rooted into XJTLU virtual learning platform Learning Mall, seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with pedagogical expertise.

Tailored to the needs of international students with HSK 5 and 6 language proficiency, RBC carefully curates a diverse selection of news articles. Additionally, our platform features interactive elements such as clickable keywords for instant meaning and pronunciation, accompanied by audio support and interactive exercises, catering to various learning preferences.

At the core of RBC's innovation is the integration of generative AI tools. These tools were used to search and select the latest news articles, ensuring learners access timely and relevant content. Furthermore, each article undergoes thorough examination by language specialists, who refine the AI-generated content to maintain precision and quality.

Symposium participants will gain insights into the seamless fusion of AI-driven content generation and human validation processes. Join us in reshaping the landscape of Chinese language education, providing learners worldwide with unparalleled access to authentic, business related content.
