AI for Language and Literacy Instruction

As educators face increasing demands on their time, AI offers new opportunities to streamline routine tasks while enhancing teaching and learning. Artificial intelligence is transforming how educators support language development, literacy, and student engagement across learning environments. Whether you teach English Language Arts (ELA), English Language Development (ELD), dual-language immersion programs, world languages, or other language-learning courses, AI tools offer new opportunities to enhance instruction and personalize learning. In this webinar, participants will explore how AI tools can enhance student reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills; discover strategies for using AI to create instructional materials, scaffold language development, increase student engagement, and design differentiated learning experiences; and gain actionable strategies that can be applied across diverse language-learning contexts. Participants will identify practical AI tools that support language and literacy instruction across multilingual and language-learning settings, explore strategies for enhancing student engagement and language development through AI, apply AI tools to create personalized and differentiated learning experiences, and evaluate opportunities and considerations for integrating AI responsibly into classroom practice.
