About the SIG:

The Community College ESL Faculty Special Interest Group (SIG) is a group for faculty and staff in ESL/ESOL programs at Community Colleges in Massachusetts. The group meets several times during the school year, and communicates via a MATSOL E-List. Some issues the group has addressed include: Credentialing for ESL across the state; The relationships between Adult Basic Education, workforce ESL and academic ESL; Being proactive on the college campus; Over-reliance on adjunct faculty; Grants and their effects on our programs; Defining success for a community college student; Anti-immigrant backlash; Academic credit for ESL: Writing position papers on important issues. Visit the Community College ESL Faculty SIG page.

About this meeting:

Can We Use AI in the ESL Classroom Responsibly?

In our 11/20 meeting, we will host a presentation on using AI in the ESL Community College classroom, featuring speakers Teresa Cheung and Anne Shull. After the presentation, there will be time for discussion and sharing resources and practices.

Ready or not, generative AI is here. How can we make it work for us?
