【社群活動】 「AI與語言教育的現在與未來」 “AI and Language Education: Present and Future”

“AI and Language Education: Present and Future”

Hosted by Teacher Community of the College, the “113-2 AI-Driven EMI Teaching Community” holds a sharing session on March 6, 2025, in room Z1308. The event features Mr. Kuan-Cheng Wang from the Bilingual Teaching Research Center of Taipei City University, giving a talk titled “The Present and Future of AI in Language Education.”

This talk explores the functions and potential of AI agents in the field of language learning and teaching, with a particular focus on tools named “I Share” and “Lingocraft” and how they reshape traditional education models. The presentation emphasizes the supportive nature of AI rather than its replacement of teachers. AI can build the necessary knowledge structures in seconds, quickly providing learners with personalized content and automatically offering corrections and suggestions to help teachers and students collaboratively create the most suitable language learning models. In this process, teachers’ roles evolve from being mere transmitters of knowledge to becoming facilitators who guide students in building their own language models. Teachers can leverage AI to offer customized advice and assistance based on students' proficiency levels, helping them develop personalized vocabulary banks and English writing structures. This approach enables students to learn English through English thinking rather than translating English into their native language.

AI assistance makes it easier for teachers to design comprehensive course structures. For example, in English writing, AI can support instructors through the stages of introduction, hooks, background information, and articulating clear thesis statements, ensuring content coherence and logical flow. Furthermore, AI can help teachers organize rich, well-rounded teaching materials and enhance course quality. When correcting student essays, AI can adjust suggestions based on the student’s proficiency level, avoiding unnecessarily complex vocabulary. For instance, if a student’s English proficiency falls within A2–B1 levels, teachers can instruct the AI to provide feedback and corrections using language no higher than the B2 level.  

 Ultimately, this talk guides attendees to a deeper understanding of how AI can become a powerful assistant in education. It will highlight how teachers and students can work hand in hand to create flexible and efficient learning environments, exploring the complementary relationship between AI and human educators to shape a more adaptive and innovative future for education.

    由國際學院主辦教師社群「113-2 AI驅動EMI教學社群」於2025年3月06日在 Z1308 舉辦分享會，邀請台北市立大學雙語教學研究中心王冠程老師，以「AI與語言教育的現在與未來」為題進行分享。

    這場演講探討人工智慧代理（AI Agent）在語言學習與教學領域的功能與潛力，特別聚焦於「I Share」與「Lingocraft」等工具如何改變傳統教育模式，同時強調 AI 的輔助性質，而非取代教師的角色。AI 可以在幾秒鐘內建立使用者所需的資料，快速為學習者提供個人化內容，並自動提供修正與建議，協助教師和學生共同打造最適合的語言學習模式。在這個過程中，教師的角色不再僅限於單向傳授知識，而是引導學生建立個人化的語言模型，並根據學生的語言程度提供客製化的建議及協助，例如老師可以透過AI協助學生建立屬於個人的詞彙庫與英語寫作架構，逐步強化學生語言能力，以英語思維來學習英文，而不是把英語翻譯成中文來學習。

    AI 的輔助讓教師更容易設計完整的課程結構，以英文作文為例，從引言(Introduction)、撰寫吸引注意力的句子 (Hook)、提供背景資訊 (Background Information)，到清晰表達寫作論點 (Thesis Statement)，以確保學習內容連貫而有層次。此外，AI 還能幫助教師整理豐富且全面的教學內容並提升課程品質，同時在修改學生作文時提供適合學生程度之詞彙，避免過度使用艱難之用詞。例如，當一位學生的英語程度為A2~B1，教師應下達指令請AI使用不超過B2程度的英文來替學生提供修改及建議。

    最後，這場演講將引導聽眾深入理解 AI 如何成為教育的強大助手，促使教師與學生攜手創建靈活而高效的學習環境，探索 AI 與教師相互補足的可能性，共同塑造更具適應性與創新的未來教育模式。(18/4.86)
