    Episode 33

    In this episode of "Delivering Development," Kevin and Laura discuss implicit and explicit knowledge in language acquisition. Laura shares insights from her study on implicit instruction and its effectiveness in developing implicit knowledge of target language structures. The conversation explores Laura's experimental intervention, which utilized "input flooding" and varied instructional modes to foster subconscious learning of complex grammatical forms. The discussion also touches upon the teacher's role in facilitating implicit learning.

    Kevin and Laura focus on the evolving impact of Artificial Intelligence on language teaching and assessment, exploring both the opportunities and challenges it presents for educators and students. The discussions highlight how AI can be a tool for efficiency (e.g., generating feedback), but also raise concerns about critical thinking, academic integrity, and adapting traditional teaching and assessment methods to a rapidly changing technological landscape. Ultimately, the podcasts emphasize the necessity for language teachers to understand and adapt to AI's presence in education to ensure continued professional relevance and effective student learning.

We also discuss in general terms how educators can adapt their teaching methods during this transitional period to ensure students still get the most out of their learning. This includes a few examples of integrating AI as a learning tool while recognizing its limitations. Is AI a 'bad friend' offering dodgy advice? The next episode will look in more detail at what educators can do to adapt.
