## AI in the Language Classroom: A Teacher's Perspective
This post is week 7 of 8 in the #8WeeksofSummer Blog Challenge for educators
This week's blogging challenge is all about AI in the classroom, and I wanted to share some thoughts from my own experience.
For years, I've been teaching foreign languages – mostly business English and English for Specific Purposes – to teens and adults online. Technology has always been a big part of my teaching style, from online platforms to educational software. I'm always curious about new tools, and that's what got me interested in AI.
At first, I wasn't sure how AI could fit into language learning. But then I realized it's actually been helping me a lot with planning specific topics for my students.
The real dream, though, is to use AI not just for myself, but for my students too. I see it as a powerful tool, but I also want to make sure they use it responsibly. The last thing I want is for them to fall into the trap of plagiarism or lose their own creativity.
So, that's where the training comes in. Ideally, I'd love some training resources that would help me guide my students at the beginning of the year. This way, they can learn to leverage AI while developing their own critical thinking and language skills.
What do you think? Have any of you tried using AI in your language classes?
