That makes me stoked that we continue to roll forward as we have! Two years, and we&#8217;re just getting started! I&#8217;m also stoked that we&#8217;re spending time on a topic that has occupied a lot of my time&#8230; A LOT&#8230; lately! Namely: language and technology, and specifically AI!

My whole outlook on generative AI has been pretty shook over the past few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One takeaway from all of this is that I&#8217;m more convinced than ever of the power of the &#8220;positive&#8221; or &#8220;correct&#8221; academic uses of these applications! Over the long term, I&#8217;d like to see more of these positive aspects and practices framing the discourse around these applications!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;student using Chat GPT to improperly create text for an assignment&#8221; phenomena is, effectively, a trope!  It&#8217;s a recurring narrative that maybe has been given too much power in our current collective view of how these tools fit within higher education, generally!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the day, I see the university English class as an opportunity to test narratives, as well as to teach them! Replacing weaker, less robust narratives with those that are stronger, and more multifaceted is key to what a critical perspective can bring to the situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so, in my strong desire to get these two most recent episodes out the door, I will end that right here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This episode brought out a lot in me that I guess I&#8217;ve been needing to express for at least the past month! I wish you all the very best in what remains of this reading week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\" src=\"https:\/\/analogue-trope.ca\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4j4p6o.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2063\" style=\"width:740px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doug&#8217;s Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Language and Technology (AI)<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Made with the assistance of a digital writing system.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Episode 1: Fit the First.&#8221; HItchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, BBC Radio Show, 8 Mar. 1978. , archive.org\/details\/hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-bbcr4\/26+Mostly+Harmless+part4.mp3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"546\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXch5k2k407-CxXz624z0lPupyuIOz6qhdtO_PKq2mot4PWuuSoWGULckW8SuXSs_reYCyBj7FJLPD5-JULvgPVv1MfMdEiPGw5aUrLRfhVE0iYNdFlRHZCySEv5FLLLRpM3h5G18w?key=PwVsq3zCoEWLgVGHfUaztOzY\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the recent enthusiasm for technology in language teaching witnessed, for example, by the large numbers of presentations at national conferences on this topic brings a sense of deja vu. Three decades ago, language programs were also enchanted by promises of magic through technology. That technology the audiobased language laboratory brought disappointing results (and, indeed, it is the audiobased labs which are often being replaced by computer labs today). Thus, before looking at the use of technology in language teaching today, it is worthwhile to take a brief historical look at technology in the language classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warschauer, M.
