In accordance with the recommendation of the Yale Task Force on Artificial Intelligence, the Center for Language Study encourages language faculty to “proactively lead the development of AI by utilizing, critiquing, and examining the technology.”
To that end, the CLS is committed to supporting language faculty as they navigate this technology in the context of language learning. On this page you will find guidance for using AI in your language teaching.
For a broader overview of AI at Yale, visit the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning’s page on AI Guidance for Teachers.
