The 2nd VietCALL International Convention (VietCALL 2026)

Generative artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping communication across languages and cultures, yet many classroom applications continue to treat AI as a neutral assistant rather than an active participant in meaning making. This interactive workshop explores how AI can both support and complicate intercultural communication in education. Drawing on principles from virtual exchange and...

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are rapidly reshaping language education, requiring educators to balance technological integration with pedagogical responsibility. Grounded in Priestley et al.’s (2015) ecological perspective of teacher agency, this study aims to examine how participation in AI-empowered corpus-based language pedagogy (CBLP) competitions shapes...

As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into language education, educators face new opportunities to support intercultural communication without diminishing authentic human interaction. This workshop draws on principles developed through international virtual exchanges to explore how AI can enhance rather than replace collaborative language learning. Participants will analyze examples...

As ChatGPT becomes increasingly common in EFL writing, understanding how students maintain active agency—rather than becoming passive editors of AI output—is critical. This study investigates how EFL students exercise agency when integrating ChatGPT into their writing processes. Drawing on learner agency theory and AI literacy frameworks, we examine students' decision-making patterns regarding...

While Generative AI (GenAI) is widely used to improve oral proficiency in English Language Teaching (ELT), its role in shaping the learning process remains under-researched. This multiple-case study explores how structured AI-assisted speaking tasks can foster young learners' agency (behavioral, cognitive, affective) and foundational AI competencies. Six Grade 5 Vietnamese EFL learners from Ly...

The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning has transformed how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners prepare for oral presentations. Despite the availability of AI-assisted language support, many learners continue to engage in code-switching during classroom presentations. This study investigates the types and reasons for code-switching employed by...

Assessing argumentative writing remains a challenge because it requires not only consistent scoring but also informed judgment of students' reasoning, creativity, and personal perspectives. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have created new opportunities to support writing assessment. However, most existing studies have focused on scoring accuracy, with limited...
