| Popis | This presentation introduces a simple case study based on action classroom research illustrating a deliberate and ethically informed integration of AI tools into an academic English course designed for B2-level students. The case study involves law students, who are preparing for an academic student conference. The focus lies on the sequential stages of writing, peer reviewing, and finalizing academic abstracts, subsequently published in a compendium of abstracts dedicated to the conference. The presentation examines how students approach abstract writing while applying their newly acquired knowledge in the realm of the specific academic texts (abstracts), and discusses the extent to which students conscientiously and critically employ language models in refining their abstracts. The presentation outlines the discrete phases of the writing process, showing how strategic reflection and peer-review mechanisms are woven into the procedure. To provide a comprehensive perspective, the presentation incorporates student feedback on the extent to which they rely on AI, stages when they use such tools and reasons for and against the use of AI in their writing process as well as excerpts from reflective writings, offering insights into emerging trends in students' inclination to incorporate AI tools into their language learning journey. The presentation underscores the importance of fostering a conscious and critical approach in leveraging technological advancements for academic purposes. As we navigate the evolving landscape of education, this presentation advocates for a thoughtful incorporation of AI tools that aligns with pedagogical goals and enhances the learning experience for students at the B2 level. |
