SUMMER SCHOOL 2026
Empowering the New Generation of Language Teachers: From Policy to Practice in Ethical AI
19-21 October 2026
Do you want to engage critically and confidently with AI in language education?
If you are a pre-service or in-service language teacher, join us for an immersive three-day learning journey (12 contact hours) designed to connect technical understanding with ethical reflection as you practically integrate AI into real-life teaching practices.
You will not only learn the major trends of AI in language education but also gain the skills to identify risks such as bias, privacy breaches, and misuse, properly grounded in European and international policy frameworks.
By the end of this journey, you will have conducted a personal AI-readiness self-assessment and developed a tangible Toolkit, including a collection of materials and ethical frameworks ready to be implemented in your own professional practice from day one.
Format:
Online (Google Meet), Link to be sent to registered and accepted participants.
