Module 6

Student AI literacy, verification, and responsible use in Foreign Language learning

Module description

This module develops student AI literacy for foreign language learning. Participants learn to evaluate and verify AI-generated content, identify risks such as bias, misinformation, hallucinations, and over-reliance on AI, and use AI responsibly while preserving learner agency, academic integrity, and critical judgement. Through practical activities, they develop strategies for critically assessing AI outputs and making informed decisions about their use in language learning.
