2025 Fall Workshop

Presenter: Marje Zschiesche-Stock from the Goethe-Institut
Workshop description:
Mensch ändere dich (nicht): Künstliche Intelligenz als neuer Mitspieler im Fremdsprachenunterricht? In einer dynamischen Welt, in der technologische und gesellschaftliche Umbrüche den Alltag prägen, steht auch der Fremdsprachenunterricht vor neuen Herausforderungen. Dieser zweiteilige Workshop widmet sich der Schnittstelle zwischen Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Future Skills im DaF/DaZ-Unterricht. Gemeinsam erkunden wir, wie KI als Werkzeug zur Förderung von Kompetenzen wie Kreativität, Problemlösung und einem resilienten Mindset genutzt werden kann – besonders in Phasen der Veränderung.
Teil 1: Grundlagen zu KI und Future Skills
Teil 2: Anwendung im Unterricht.
