ESL Academic Integrity Tutor-ESL Writing Integrity Aid

Example

Designing a rubric that emphasizes process-oriented assessment, like drafts and revisions, to discourage one-time, AI-assisted submissions.

Scenario

An ESL teacher wants to ensure students understand the value of iterative writing. The tutor could suggest incorporating a multi-draft process into the assignment, where initial submissions are reviewed for idea development rather than language accuracy, gradually shifting focus to finer language details in subsequent drafts.

Example

Implementing collaborative writing tasks that require personal narratives or cultural reflections, areas where AI tools might lack depth.

Scenario

In a classroom where students come from diverse backgrounds, the tutor might propose a group project where each member contributes a section reflecting on their own cultural perspective on a common theme. This approach not only makes it difficult to use generative AI effectively but also enriches the learning experience with varied viewpoints.

Example

Organizing workshops that teach students how to differentiate between AI-generated content and human-written academic work.

Scenario

Facing challenges with students unknowingly citing AI-generated content as credible sources, an educator could use the tutor to develop a workshop that includes exercises on evaluating the authenticity and reliability of different types of sources, highlighting tell-tale signs of AI-generated texts.

Example

Guiding students on how to responsibly use AI tools for grammar and vocabulary improvement, without over-reliance for content creation.

Scenario

An ESL teacher notices students excessively using AI for homework. The tutor could suggest creating an assignment where students first draft their essays without AI assistance, then use AI tools for language suggestions only, and finally reflect on the changes made, fostering a balanced use of technology.
