Pedagogy Meets Technology: AI for Languages Curriculum

This workshop will be a live demonstration of how artificial intelligence can transform the way teachers plan, design, and deliver language learning. The session offers practical solutions for creating curriculum-aligned units of work that are engaging, differentiated, and responsive to student needs, and is suitable for school-wide implementation.

Participants will be guided through the process of using AI as a collaborative planning tool, from generating initial unit overviews to developing lesson sequences, assessments, and differentiated activities. During the session I will showcase effective prompts and frameworks tailored specifically for language education, ensuring that teachers can maintain curriculum integrity while implementing AI as an enhancement to their planning and teaching practice.

The session will include a live unit-building activity, guiding participants from defining learning objectives to designing learning outputs and assessments. Teachers will explore strategies for each phase of planning: compiling clear and measurable learning objectives, constructing engaging and scaffolded unit content, and aligning all elements with the Victorian Curriculum standards.

Through hands-on activities, participants will see how AI can support the development of scaffolded resources for diverse learners, provide vocabulary and grammar practice tasks, and even suggest culturally authentic content to enrich units. The session will also highlight the limitations of AI, emphasising the need for professional judgement, critical evaluation, and ethical use of technology in the classroom.

Participants will leave the workshop with practical frameworks, ready-to-use strategies, and confidence to integrate AI effectively into their language education planning.
