Presentation Paddling the Rapids: Developing Student Scholars with Information Literacy and GenAI more

Sat, Jul 19, 15:10-15:35 Asia/Tokyo

In higher education, we have an age-old problem: how to develop student scholars so they can seek, evaluate, and use good information thoughtfully, efficiently, and ethically. At the same time, GenAI tools present new challenges and opportunities in language teaching and learning. By integrating information literacy concepts, with thoughtful deployment of GenAI tools, CALL can help teachers and students succeed. In this session, a university librarian and an English lecturer will share their experiences and collaborations in newly developed first-year university-level English language courses focusing on academic literacy. They will also share ideas for incorporating GenAI tools into language teaching approaches and CALL resources, based on examples from English courses and an environmental management course. These include potential applications using resources like a “Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education” by the Association of College and Research Libraries.
