AI, Language, and Culture Ethics in Education <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course explores the remarkable convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), human language, and cultural models in the classroom. It extends beyond a narrowly technical understanding of AI to examine in some detail the ways in which AI tools, particularly large language models and generative AI, impact and are shaped by language, influence cultural discourses, and raise new ethical challenges for teachers and learners.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critical Perspectives on Language, Power, and Education<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course critically explores the interplay of language, power, and education in multilingual, multicultural, and post-colonial contexts. Drawing on critical theory, sociolinguistics, and educational linguistics, it examines how language policies, ideologies, and classroom practices reproduce or resist social inequalities. Topics include linguistic hegemony, epistemic injustice, English as a medium of instruction, teacher agency, translanguaging, and decolonial frameworks. Through case studies from Hong Kong and beyond, students will engage with critical pedagogy, question neoliberal discourses, and reflect on their own positionalities as educators and researchers. Emphasis is placed on dialogic engagement, ethical reflexivity, and socially responsive scholarship.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contemporary Aesthetics and Creative Arts Education<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course aims to investigate the ideas of aesthetics and related philosophical discourses focusing on the ways in which societal, political and technological changes impact artistic expression and reception. The course will re-examine the nature and characteristics of aesthetic experiences within the context of major 20th-century and more recent aesthetic theories. The course also will critically examine issues such as identity, globalization, politics and technology in aesthetics and their implications in the teaching and learning of creative arts. Through critical discussions and presentations, the course engages students in contemporary debates of issues in philosophy, aesthetics and arts criticism.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
