25/07/2025 22:00 UTC
This workshop explores the role of GenAI in improving feedback literacy within EFL writing courses. Participants will learn about a study conducted in two EFL courses at a Bolivian university, where students used a rubric to guide their writing and received AI-generated feedback. The workshop covers the planning and implementation of AI-supported feedback, focusing on its impact on student's writing skills and the significant improvement in feedback literacy, and addressing teacher and student perceptions of AI-driven feedback, including ethical considerations and comfort levels.
Key takeaways:
Practical strategies for integrating generative AI into EFL writing instruction, including rubric-guided writing and the use of ChatGPT for formative feedback.
Insights into how AI-supported feedback influences student writing development and feedback literacy, based on findings from a real-world Bolivian university context.
Awareness of ethical and affective dimensions of AI use in education, encompassing teacher and student perceptions, challenges, and levels of trust or comfort with AI-generated responses.
