Coherent Language Course Design in the Era of Generative AI: Aligning Policy, Pedagogy, and Assessment
This workshop addresses current challenges related to generative AI in language education by shifting the focus away from enforcement or detection toward coherent course design. Rather than treating generative AI as a discrete problem to be managed, the workshop approaches AI as a structural condition that requires rethinking how language courses are designed as integrated systems. Drawing on cross-institutional perspectives and concrete teaching contexts, participants will examine how policy statements, syllabus language, classroom tasks, and assessment practices can be intentionally aligned to support meaningful learning and trustworthy evidence of student progress.
By engaging participants in collaborative analysis and hands-on redesign, the workshop aims to address an issue that remains urgent for many language professionals across the Consortium, and to develop shared frameworks and practical strategies for coherent language course design in the era of generative AI—frameworks that are adaptable across languages, institutional contexts, and levels of instruction.
