SESSION 1: Language, Agency, and Human Futures in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Rethinking Language Education Through Contemporary Applied Linguistics

Date: Sept. 9, 2026 (Wed.)
Time: 2:30 - 3:45PM HST
Description: The emergence of generative artificial intelligence challenges long-standing assumptions about language, authorship, agency, and learning. The presentation explores how humans, algorithms, and sociotechnical environments increasingly co-produce language practices. Rather than asking only how meaning is interpreted, the lecture asks how algorithmic systems participate in reading, interpreting, and producing meaning and thus invites educators to critically examine whose perspectives, values, and assumptions become amplified in these processes and how they shape possible human futures.

SESSION 2: Critical Language Education in Posthuman Ecologies: Challenges for Teacher Education

Date: Sept. 16, 2026 (Wed.)

Time: 3:00 - 4:15PM HST

Description: Artificial intelligence is transforming language teacher education by reshaping how knowledge, meaning, and pedagogical decisions are produced. This lecture examines how educators can critically engage with AI-mediated educational ecologies by questioning both how language is taught and how meaning is increasingly co-produced by humans and algorithms. It argues that teacher education must make visible the sociotechnical and affective dimensions of these practices, fostering ethical judgment, critical reflection, and relational responsibility in language education.
