Generative AI for professional communication training in intercultural contexts: where are we now and where are we heading?

Abstract It is a common feature of the 21st century workplace to be multicultural. Working professionals need to possess strong Interactional Competence to handle professional communication in various intercultural encounters in their workplace. This has however posed challenges to professional communication education since educators need to incorporate different cultural practices and interlocutor profiles in their teaching and assessment materials. In this paper we reflect on the practical challenges of professional communication education in intercultural contexts and envisage what AI can offer in this place. We start with some practical, on-the-ground dilemmas in integrating diverse cultural representation in professional communication education. We then use an operational AI-mediated assessment tool to elaborate the possibilities, affordances and caveats in using AI to develop teaching and assessment materials for professional communication education. We conclude with directions for future research and practice in the emerging space of AI for professional communication in intercultural contexts (AI-for-PCIC).

Towards a critical approach in the design and use of teaching materials for language education

Uma pedagogia se torna relevante quando a sua prática é colocada em evidência, bem como tudo o que for necessário para colocá-la em funcionamento (Akbari, 2008; Crookes, 2013). Assim, considerando a centralidade dos materiais didáticos em sala de aula (Garson; Graves, 2014), explorar a relevância desses recursos para uma pedagogia crítica pode ser um excelente caminho para evidenciar esse modo de ensinar. Partindo dessa perspectiva, este trabalho tem como objetivo fomentar a discussão acerca da criticidade na educação linguística apresentando princípios que podem orientar o ensino crítico bem como um exemplo de abordagem na elaboração e uso de materiais didáticos que contempla a criticidade (Montenegro, 2022). Para tal, professores de inglês em formação participaram de uma oficina de materiais didáticos sob uma perspectiva crítica de ensino e ministraram aulas durante a prática em Estágio Supervisionado em uma universidade pública baiana. Os resultados obtidos apontam para a utilização de códigos (Freire, 1987; Wallerstein; Auerbach, 2004) e do princípio do diálogo (Crookes, 2013; Freire, 1987; Wallerstein; Auerbach, 2004) como elementos determinantes para a implementação de uma abordagem problematizadora (Wallerstein; Auerbach, 2004).

Effects of an Animation-Based Comprehensive Sexuality Education Package: A 2-Year Repeated Intervention Study.

Preadolescents, who are in a transitional phase of development, may experience higher exposure to heterosexual interactions while facing higher risks regarding misinformation in sexual knowledge and unsafe engagement in sexual activities. There is a deficiency in the availability of qualified educators and age-appropriate teaching materials for sexuality education in China. We implemented an animation-based comprehensive sexuality education package among preadolescents aged 9 to 12 years from eight schools in Anhui, China. The first round of intervention included 1,835 participants, lasting 2 months from September to November 2020. A total of 374 participants, accounting for 52% of the intervention group, received a second round of intervention in September 2021. Participants completed immediate follow-up assessment and 1-year follow-up assessment to assess changes in their sexual knowledge, attitudes, and other outcomes. Propensity score matching and difference-in-difference analysis were performed to determine the short- and long-term impacts. Significant improvements were observed for both sexual knowledge and sexual attitudes in the immediate follow-up. There was no significant effect on pornography-seeking behavior or awareness of experiencing sexual abuse. After 1 year, the effect was sustained for sexual knowledge, but slightly declined for sexual attitudes. The second intervention significantly improved sexual knowledge; however, no significant change in sexual attitudes, pornography-seeking behavior, or awareness of experiencing sexual abuse was observed. Our comprehensive sexuality education package was effective in improving sexual knowledge both immediately and 1 year after the intervention. Repeated intervention can be an effective strategy for promoting preadolescent health development regarding comprehensive sexuality education.
