Welcome to Sustained Integrated Professional Development

Covering the final part of their paper, Mat and Phil first outline the concept of GenAI Sustained Integrated Professional Development and then discuss how language teachers can build their AI competence through the seven guiding principles of GenAI-SIPD. Understand the basics of GenAI to make informed use decisions. Experience GenAI from the language learner perspective. Testing AI-mediated tasks and materials in the role of your students Practice learning an L2 yourself using GenAI Start small and look for uses of GenAI that have immediate value for your current teaching context. Think of GenAI-SIPD as GenAI “sipped” with consistent (ideally daily) microlearning. Evaluate AI options critically and reflectively. Always consider ethical issues in your and your students’ GenAI use. Seek out and nurture partnerships with peers.

  1. Understand the basics of GenAI to make informed use decisions.
  2. Experience GenAI from the language learner perspective.
    • Testing AI-mediated tasks and materials in the role of your students
    • Practice learning an L2 yourself using GenAI
  3. Start small and look for uses of GenAI that have immediate value for your current teaching context.
  4. Think of GenAI-SIPD as GenAI “sipped” with consistent (ideally daily) microlearning.
  5. Evaluate AI options critically and reflectively.
