Presentation: AI and Ethics in ELT: tools, tasks and transformative pedagogy
When: Saturday, February 28th at 10am SK time
Who: Ali Caszadeh Mataki
About the presentation:
The main goal of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT) is to equip learners with the capacity to be critical and ethical digital citizens in the modern world (Reiss, 2021). This presentation outlines a proposed pilot framework that seeks to provide educators with an effective approach on how to embed AI ethically in the language classroom by providing pedagogical principles and clear plans for actions. The framework includes three parts: scenario-based learning, reflective tasks, and curricular integration strategies.
Bio:
Ali Caszadeh Mataki is a Ph.D. candidate and Senior Instructor at Middle East Technical University, Northern Cyprus. With twenty-one years of teaching and teacher-training experience, he specializes in post-method and transformative pedagogy, focusing on learner autonomy, motivation and engagement.
He has presented at IATEFL SIG (2023, 2024) and FoELT Trinity College (2024), and his proposal on teacher development was selected for presentation at the IATEFL International Conference 2025. His work also explores innovative, inclusive teacher-development models.
