Summary
After about 40 years of teaching languages, many of them online, Joseph Hopkins is back on the other side of the classroom, this time as a learner with artificial intelligence tools at his disposal. Drawing on this experience, practical examples and recent research, the session explores how AI can be used to support learning without confusing the ability to complete a task with acquiring the competences needed to do so. The distinction has become especially relevant since the CEFR put the focus on what learners can do with a language.
