Designing conflict-based communicative tasks in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language with ChatGPT
This work addresses the challenge of enhancing oral interaction skills for Chinese language learners, but it is incremental as it applies an existing AI tool to a specific educational domain.
The paper tackled the problem of designing conflict-based communicative tasks for teaching Chinese as a foreign language by using ChatGPT to assist in program development, resulting in an analysis of the teacher-ChatGPT interactions and its impacts in this context.
In developing the teaching program for a course in Oral Expression in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language at the university level, the teacher designs communicative tasks based on conflicts to encourage learners to engage in interactive dynamics and develop their oral interaction skills. During the design of these tasks, the teacher uses ChatGPT to assist in finalizing the program. This article aims to present the key characteristics of the interactions between the teacher and ChatGPT during this program development process, as well as to examine the use of ChatGPT and its impacts in this specific context.
