PD: Multilingual Learners: AI & Multilingual Learning

"AI will be more than just a tool, however. Schools will also need to consider how to teach students to be critical users and prepare them to live in a world where they will be learning and perhaps, one day, working alongside AI.

School librarians are perfectly suited for this new role."

CUNY-New York State Initiative on Emergent Bilinguals (NYSIEB) created teacher materials to inspire communities to develop multilingual environments. This presentation showcases real-world "photographs of multilingual elements at other schools which can assist you in running a professional development session about the importance of fostering a multilingual ecology at your school."

Another thoughtful, rich resource from Stephen Taylor, Director of Innovation in Teaching and Learning, Western Academy of Beijing. Some AI tools have potential to save teachers a lot of time in supporting their learners, through making content more accessible and working across languages, and finding solutions to meet the learning needs of all students.
