Abstract

Language learning and teaching research explores the affordances and constraints of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools and learners' and teachers' AI literacy. However, little attention has been directed to teachers' use of such tools and their implications for the development of GenAI literacies as diverse, historically, and culturally variable practices involving AI tools, especially pre-service teachers (PSTs) in the second language (L2) context. Based on an exploratory multiple-case study of five undergraduate PSTs in Hong Kong, this paper adopts the model of L2 investment (Darvin & Norton, 2015) to address this need by posing three question: 1. What are the GenAI literacies that PSTs invest in as they learn to teach? 2. What are the perceived affordances and constraints of GenAI tools in their learning-to-teach practices? 3. To what extent do their identity and access to resources shape these literacies? Data was collected from a survey, interviews, and observations of participants' GenAI use, and triangulated using content analysis. Findings reveal how PSTs invest in their English and pedagogy learner, bilingual writer, and teacher identities that intertwine with their identities as users of various GenAI tools in GenAI-empowered spaces as ideological sites that shaped PSTs' dispositions and positioning. Recognizing how PSTs deploy multiple resources to invest in contrasting GenAI literacies, this study underscores the need for the language classroom to integrate GenAI literacies instruction that enables a critical awareness of how GenAI tools operate.
在人工智能时代成为一名教师:职前教师在人工智能促进下的“学与教”实践中的投资多案例研究
语言学习和教学研究探讨了生成式人工智能(GenAI)工具的功能和约束,以及学习者和教师的人工智能素养。然而,很少有人关注教师对这些工具的使用及其对涉及人工智能工具的多种、历史和文化变化实践的人工智能素养发展的影响,特别是在第二语言(L2)背景下的职前教师(pst)。基于对香港五所大学本科PSTs的探索性多案例研究,本文采用了L2投资模型(Darvin &;诺顿,2015)通过提出三个问题来解决这一需求:1。pst在学习教学时投资的GenAI素养是什么?2. GenAI工具在“从学到教”的实践中有哪些明显的优点和限制?3. 他们的身份和获取资源的途径在多大程度上塑造了这些文化?数据收集自调查、访谈和参与者使用GenAI的观察,并使用内容分析进行三角测量。研究结果揭示了pst如何投资于他们的英语和教育学学习者、双语作家和教师身份,这些身份与他们作为GenAI授权空间中各种GenAI工具用户的身份交织在一起,作为塑造pst倾向和定位的意识形态网站。认识到pst如何部署多种资源来投资于对比GenAI素养,本研究强调了语言课堂整合GenAI素养教学的必要性,从而能够批判性地了解GenAI工具的运作方式。

期刊介绍: This international journal is devoted to the applications of educational technology and applied linguistics to problems of foreign language teaching and learning. Attention is paid to all languages and to problems associated with the study and teaching of English as a second or foreign language. The journal serves as a vehicle of expression for colleagues in developing countries. System prefers its contributors to provide articles which have a sound theoretical base with a visible practical application which can be generalized. The review section may take up works of a more theoretical nature to broaden the background.
