Abstract

While recent and significant progress made in natural language processing and artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to drastically influence the field of language education, many language educators and administrators remain unfamiliar with these recent technological advances and their pedagogical implications. The primary purpose of this paper is to raise the awareness of language educators regarding ethical and pedagogical issues stemming from student, teacher, and administrator use of generative AI tools such as large language models (LLMs) and AI chatbots. These issues include ethical ways of teaching with AI, questions of ownership, writing skills development, the accuracy and reliability of generated output, the potential to widen the educational divide, and AI bias. We conclude by offering suggestions for language educators and calling for further discussion.

在 TESOL 中使用人工智能：一些伦理和教学方面的考虑因素

尽管自然语言处理和人工智能（AI）领域最近取得的重大进展有可能极大地影响语言教育领域，但许多语言教育工作者和管理者仍然不熟悉这些最新的技术进步及其对教学的影响。本文的主要目的是提高语言教育工作者对学生、教师和管理人员使用生成式人工智能工具（如大型语言模型（LLM）和人工智能聊天机器人）所产生的伦理和教学问题的认识。这些问题包括使用人工智能教学的道德方式、所有权问题、写作技能培养、生成输出的准确性和可靠性、扩大教育鸿沟的可能性以及人工智能偏见。最后，我们将为语言教育工作者提出建议，并呼吁开展进一步的讨论。

期刊介绍： TESOL Quarterly, a professional, refereed journal, was first published in 1967. The Quarterly encourages submission of previously unpublished articles on topics of signiﬁcance to individuals concerned with English language teaching and learning and standard English as a second dialect. As a publication that represents a variety of cross-disciplinary interests, both theoretical and practical, the Quarterly invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, especially in the following areas: -psychology and sociology of language learning and teaching -issues in research and research methodology -testing and evaluation -professional preparation -curriculum design and development -instructional methods, materials, and techniques -language planning -professional standards Because the Quarterly is committed to publishing manuscripts that contribute to bridging theory and practice in our profession, it particularly welcomes submissions that address the implications and applications of research in, for example, -anthropology -applied and theoretical linguistics -communication education -English education, including reading and writing theory -psycholinguistics -psychology -ﬁrst and second language acquisition -sociolinguistics The Quarterly prefers that all submissions be written in a style that is accessible to a broad readership, including those individuals who may not be familiar with the subject matter. TESOL Quarterly is an international journal. It welcomes submissions from English language contexts around the world.
