Large Language Models like ChatGPT and similar AI-powered tools have a number of implications for academic writing; they can provide first sentences for the blank page, offer corrections on the stylistic and the grammar level, or aid the development of an argument. At the same time, the use of LLM can foster academic misconduct through unreflected copy-pasting of ChatGPT outputs or simply not verifying sources. Teaching academic writing changes accordingly: We need to adapt to prepare students to use AI ethically and responsibly.
In this workshop, we will explore how AI is changing and challenging academic writing development with a special focus on how teaching practices can be adapted to meet these new challenges. The aims of this workshop are 1) to gain insight in the development of academic writers and the changes that are brought through LLM and AI; 2) to discuss how artificial intelligence is changing the process of writing, researching, reading and revising; and 3) to provide a space to discuss scenarios of teaching AI-supported academic writing.
A good command of English (minimum B2) is required. First experiences with LLM / AI Tools for writing are an advantage.
Disclaimer: This workshop does not provide an introduction to AI-powered tools but rather discusses their use in specific scenarios.
