Abstract
With the rapid emergence and growth of AI-assisted deep learning tools such as ChatGPT, teaching methodologies for the English language face the need for a drastically different approach. This is because language is fundamentally linked with what people value in thinking and expressing it through different languages. In such a process, not only what learners produce but also the idea behind such expressions must be evaluated based on trust between learners and teachers with the lurking doubt of AI creation. Given the above background, the author believes it is vitally important to cultivate learners’ genuine pride in their creations, for which interest has become more crucial than ever before. To materialise this goal, the author sets a classroom environment where learners openly share their ideas and appreciate peers’ input as learning materials. The author has been designing her classroom activities based on the principle of Exploratory Practice, which values the quality of life (QoL) within a classroom. In this study, the author analyses the questionnaire data obtained from the voluntary participants among the course takers asking the evaluation of the author’s classroom design against her syllabus outlines. Overall results indicated a positive reaction to the author’s intended learning outcomes. However, the author also reflected the results more deeply by the theory of core reflection proposed by Korthagen and Vasalos for her continuous growth as an educator. The study proposes a chain of such practices in the field of language education to further enhance the quality of language classrooms.
