SUMMARY:Invited Guest Speaker | Teaching for Social Justice Through Multiliteracies Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:Come join us on November 3rd at 3pm in Hamilton 304 and on Zoom for a talk with Dr. Kate Paesani (Ph.D.\, Indiana University) about the intersection between Social Justice and Multiliteracies Pedagogy. \n“Critical pedagogies that prepare learners to participate in multilingual\, multicultural\, and multimodal societies are gaining ground in language education. The multiliteracies framework (Cope & Kalantzis\, 2009; New London Group\, 1996) is one example of a critical pedagogy that not only develops learners’ language proficiency as they engage with target language texts\, but also empowers students to question and critique how language and culture embody\, maintain\, and challenge structural inequalities and biases. To illustrate how multiliteracies pedagogy can support social justice in language education\, this talk is organized around three central questions: Why is the multiliteracies framework a viable critical pedagogy for implementing social justice in language classrooms? What facilitates and hinders teachers’ implementation of this approach?\, and How can teachers be supported in carrying out this work? I begin by discussing key concepts related to social justice\, critical pedagogies\, and the multiliteracies framework. Then\, I present teacher cognition and identity research that pinpoints the affordances and constraints that language teachers encounter when teaching social justice themes through critical pedagogies. Finally\, I share resources developed at CARLA that support teachers in learning about and enacting social justice in language education.” \nBIO: Kate Paesani (Ph.D.\, Indiana University) is the Director of the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) and Associate Professor in the Department of French and Italian at the University of Minnesota. Her research focuses on postsecondary language programs\, critical pedagogies\, and language teacher cognition and identity development. She has authored and co-authored numerous articles\, chapters\, and books\, including Literacies in Language Education: A Guide for Teachers and Teacher Educators (Georgetown University Press\, 2023).

SUMMARY:Transforming (Language) Pedagogy in Response to Generative AI: Developing Critical AI Literacy & Instructional Content for Foreign Language Writing
DESCRIPTION:As a member of the Modern Language Asssocation (MLA) /CCCC Task Force on Writing and AI (2023)\, Anna Mills will summarize their first working paper highlighting the benefits and risks of large language models for language\, literature\, and writing programs. She will share an approach to teaching with AI that supports language development to build critical AI literacy\, including awareness of the linguistic and cultural biases of AI systems in a given language. \nThis presentation will be followed by a workshop conducted by Simon Zuberek that will delve into the transformative potential of generative AI in crafting instructional content for foreign language writing. Participants will explore ways that generative AI can empower educators in both curricular development and teaching materials creation. Starting with lesson objectives\, participants will be guided through a step-by-step lesson design that harnesses various generative AI tools\, including text-to-image generation\, providing a departure from traditional text-based frameworks. \nPresenter Bios:\nAnna Mills teaches writing at Cañada College and previously taught at City College of San Francisco for 17 years. Her collection “AI Text Generators and Teaching Writing: Starting Points for Inquiry” is featured in the Writing Across the Curriculum Clearinghouse. She serves on the MLA/CCCC task force on writing and AI\, and as a consultant for OpenAI\, she tested GPT-4 before its release. Her Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook\, How Arguments Work: A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College has been used at over 65 colleges. Anna’s writing on AI has appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed. \nSimon Zuberek specializes in integrating technology in language pedagogy as the senior educational technologist at Columbia Language Resource Center. With degrees in Germanic Studies and Applied Linguistics from the University of Illinois\, he is now pursuing Computational Linguistics at CUNY\, focusing on AI’s role in enhancing foreign language education. \nTo attend this event\, please click on the included Zoom link at the appropriate time. This event will take place on November 9th\, 4:00-5:15 PM.
