Series: Action on Issues

Discussions around Artificial Intelligence (AI) are everywhere, and are therefore inevitably on the minds of teachers and materials alike. But as many of us will freely admit, it’s easy to feel confused, overwhelmed, and even exasperated by the hype, the rapid new developments and the explosion of information that we face. Integrating AI in the classroom offers both significant opportunities and complex challenges, alongside nuanced ethical considerations.

AI in ELT offers a comprehensive, critical and practical guide for teachers navigating the complex world of generative AI in education, especially in the context of English language teaching. Whether you are new to AI or looking to deepen your practice, this book equips you to make informed decisions that centre pedagogy, equity and the learner’s agency. It aims to ensure AI becomes a thoughtful addition to your teaching that genuinely enhances, rather than undermines, the quality and inclusivity of education.

In the first part of the book, the authors explain the concept of AI and what it is and what it can refer to. They aim to provide a clear and balanced view of the serious moral and ethical considerations in the use of AI, as well as an overview of the implications of and potential for AI in the ELT classroom. In part two, they give examples of real and practical uses for AI in English teaching and learning, placing the emphasis on establishing ethical guidelines, codes of conduct and having principled reasons for the incorporation of AI into our teaching. Whether you are tech-savvy or not, this book offers step-by-step plans to help you confidently bring AI into your teaching practice, with no advanced technical knowledge required.
