Description
AI tools are redefining English Language Teaching, especially in IELTS writing test preparation, with their ability to provide instant feedback, detailed explanations, and innovative assessment techniques (Alam, 2021; Kuhail et al., 2023). With that in mind, this workshop aims to explore how AI can transform IELTS writing instruction, making it highly relevant for IELTS instructors, curriculum developers, and ed-tech professionals. With an emphasis on the Vietnamese EFL context and through interactive activities, participants will engage with AI technologies like ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing AI and discover their applications in lesson planning, classroom activities, and evaluation. The workshop will conclude with a critical examination of AI's limitations, aiming to foster a balanced understanding of technology integration in language education. Attendees will leave equipped with practical skills for leveraging AI in IELTS writing instruction and insights into navigating the challenges of technology-enhanced teaching.
