Navigating the AI Turn: Framework for Responsible AI Integration in Language Education
Authors
Abstract
As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) revolutionizes the teaching and learning of language, the discipline faces two challenges: to avoid the traps of superficial technological replacement and to proactively defend academic integrity and learner autonomy. This paper addresses this conflict by asking two important questions: (1) pedagogical conditions that favor the development of profound language skills in AI rather than superficial language skills; (2) organizations can promote responsible use while cultivating critical thinking. To address these questions, this paper proposes the Framework for Responsible AI Integration in Language Education (FRAILE). This unifying model incorporates recent empirical research to offer a comprehensive structural response to the AI disruption. This presentation introduces a new AI Task Typology to enable cognitive engagement within the FRAILE.
