Educational Technology & Artificial Intelligence Strand Presentation
Five Keywords for Future-Oriented English Education
디지털 기반 미래 영어교육을 위한 5가지 키워드
(To Be Delivered in Korean)
This presentation examines the integration of advanced technologies, specifically AI and the metaverse, within the framework of the 2022 Revised English Curriculum. It offers a comprehensive analysis, highlighting a significant paradigm shift from traditional, static methods of teaching to a more dynamic, interactive, and technologically enriched educational experience. The discussion is based on five keywords: (a) collaborative communication, which underscores the importance of teamwork and collective problem-solving; (b) digital and AI literacy, emphasizing not just the understanding of technology but also ethical considerations and critical engagement; (c) experiential learning, advocating for immersive, hands-on educational encounters that go beyond the confines of traditional classroom settings; (d) phonics education, focusing on the intricacies of speech sounds and patterns, enriching linguistic proficiency; and (e) customized education, which uses AI to tailor learning experiences to individual needs, maximizing learner engagement and learning efficacy. Based on future-oriented teaching methods and approaches, this presentation seeks to redefine the traditional educational practices, making them more relevant, engaging, and effective in the technology-driven world.
* This presentation, as well as the other sessions in the EdTech/AI strand, will be delivered in Korean.
