Vocabulary Learning According to Shrek, Words Have Layers!
Friday November 15, 2024 8:45am - 9:15am PST
KH B2014
John McWhorter, linguist of Black English, claims 'loving your language means a command of its vocabulary beyond the level of the everyday.' Many teachers send their students, armed with a vocabulary list, diving into the dictionary as a first contact. While that may offer a start, words are like onions (and ogres) and have layers, and command of vocabulary requires facility with the corresponding layers of each word. In this presentation, participants will explore layers of vocabulary words from denotations to collocations and discuss strategies for assisting students to develop a strong command of words.

CATESOL attendees are invited to showcase a new corpus-related app, platform, or digital resource that you have tried out this past year -- or think you might try out in the near future.

This is really informal and low-stakes: Just be ready to take 3-5 minutes to highlight the app/digital resource and a classroom or online activity idea. Then, each of us can follow up with people about the items that resonate the most.

Let us know if you are interested in highlighting a tool: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vefd7bJWRPzzzMqnUVmO4ds268TJdmHMjJnztTAQm6Y/edit?usp=sharing. Or just show up ready to roll!

And bring your devices, questions, and snacks.

AI-Driven ESL Curriculum: Comparing Traditional and AI-Enhanced Approaches
Friday November 15, 2024 3:30pm - 4:00pm PST
KH C4070
This qualitative study explores the application of artificial intelligence in English as a Second Language curriculum design with traditional approaches, focusing on impacts on diverse learners. Through classroom observations and teacher interviews in two ESL classrooms over four weeks, this study investigated how AI-powered curriculum tools influence language learning and learner engagement compared to traditional methods. The research examines practical implementation of AI-suggested lesson sequencing and content adaptation, discussing the balance between AI recommendations and teacher expertise. Findings provide insights into the real-world effects of AI integration in ESL programs, contributing to the ongoing discussion on technology-enhanced language learning.

Developing Understanding in AI Tools as an ESOL Learning Partner
Friday November 15, 2024 3:30pm - 4:00pm PST
KH B3010
With rapidly emerging technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs) being used for daily life, naturally this has piqued interest in its implications for language learning. This study aims to explore student usage of Artificial Intelligence tools in an ESOL context to develop understanding of its viability both inside and outside of the classroom as a language learning partner. Activities were performed in three stages: in-class discussion, guided use of AI tools, and an optional follow-up survey. Results were found to be mixed, with a moderately positive response on learner attitudes towards AI tools indicating worthwhile exploration in ESOL courses.

KH B2007
This study used a written interview format to ask several large language models (LLMs, specifically, Claude, Chat GPT, and Gemini) about their ability to write reading passages restricted to particular vocabulary lists, and with specific restrictions on text complexity. The presentation outlines the background of the study, particularly features that might be included in passage specifications, and provides options for setting specifications in a particular context and/or at a particular level of English proficiency. It outlines the various capabilities claimed by current versions of the LLMs that were interviewed.
