Can AI technology help grow multilingual learners’ future opportunities and their academic success?
This webinar digs deep into concrete and pragmatic ways to explore AI in the context of the ELD classroom: what is AI, what are some challenges and cautions around it, how can it work with ELD programs and curriculum, what can it do for educators, and most importantly, what can it do for multilingual learners (MLs).
Session outcomes:
• Participants will learn or review basic facts about Artificial Intelligence and learn about ways to narrow resources for tools that can augment curriculum and instruction for MLs.
• Participants will better understand the challenges and cautions around AI for MLs, but also hear about benefits and enhancements that are proving to work well for students across a range of proficiency levels.
• Participants will receive practical time-saving tips and strategies to foster success for students’ language acquisition and literacy development, as well as their own job roles so they can leverage opportunities for growth and success.
