Description
This interactive workshop provides English language educators and researchers with practical strategies for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into academic research within TESOL and Applied Linguistics. Participants will receive hands-on experience with a range of AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Elicit, Research Rabbit, Scite.ai, and Google NotebookLM, to support literature review, data analysis, note-taking, and academic writing. The workshop emphasizes not only the technical skills needed to use these tools effectively but also the critical importance of ethical AI use in research.
Through guided activities, attendees will practice evaluating the reliability of AI-generated content, curating and synthesizing academic sources, and collaboratively developing research questions and protocols. Special focus will be placed on understanding and addressing ethical challenges such as academic integrity, transparency in AI-assisted processes, data privacy, and the responsible disclosure of AI use in scholarly work. Scenario-based discussions will foster critical thinking about the implications of AI in TESOL and Applied Linguistics research.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with actionable skills and ethical frameworks to harness AI’s potential while upholding rigorous academic standards. This session aims to empower the Vietnamese research community to engage confidently and responsibly with AI-enhanced scholarship, contributing to the ongoing digital transformation in research.
