📘 Mastering AI in Language Teaching: Pedagogy, Practice and Professional Development in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing language education. But the most important question is not simply what AI can do. It is how we, as teachers and teacher educators, choose to use it.
We are pleased to share our new title Mastering AI in Language Teaching, published by Applied Language Studies House Publications as part of The ELT Mastery Series.
The book approaches AI not as a collection of fashionable digital tools, but as a pedagogical development that requires critical understanding, professional judgement and responsible decision-making.
Across the book, I explore areas including:
🔹 AI literacy for language teachers
🔹 Teacher–AI–learner relationships
🔹 Prompting and AI-mediated classroom interaction
🔹 AI-supported lesson planning and materials development
🔹 Writing, feedback and automated feedback systems
🔹 Assessment and academic integrity
🔹 Ethical and responsible uses of AI
🔹 Teacher education and professional development
🔹 The evolving role of the language teacher
Theory is combined with practical applications, professional reflection and teacher-training tasks, with one central principle running throughout the book:
Technology should serve pedagogy — not determine it.
The book is intended for English language teachers, teacher educators, TESOL/TEFL and Applied Linguistics students, EAP practitioners, curriculum designers, academic managers, researchers, and teachers working towards professional qualifications such as CertTESOL, DipTESOL, CELTA and Delta.
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in education, maintaining teacher agency, pedagogical responsibility and human judgement becomes more important, not less.
