Ai-Supported Teaching for Multilingual Learners: A Multimodal Approach to Literacies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807784174)

Learn how to harness artificial intelligence to create inclusive learning environments where multilingual learners thrive (K-12).

This book invites educators to reimagine literacy instruction at the intersection of language, culture, and technology. Through vivid classroom stories, practical frameworks, and adaptable lesson designs, the authors demonstrate how AI can serve as a thinking partner to help students translate, analyze, and express ideas across languages and modes. Rather than viewing multilingualism as a challenge, this book positions it as brilliance--a source of creativity, insight, and connection. From multimodal micropaths and strategic text sets to AI-powered feedback and assessment, readers will find tools that honor students' full linguistic and cultural repertoires while deepening critical and creative thinking. AI-Supported Teaching for Multilingual Learners offers a hopeful vision for how teachers can combine human artistry and technological innovation to make literacy instruction more inclusive, dynamic, and human.

Book Features:

• Brings together insights from multiliteracies pedagogy and emerging research on AI in education, offering practice-based models for how these fields can inform each other in meaningful, student-centered ways.
• Positions multilingual students as designers of meaning and knowledge, highlighting their full linguistic and cultural repertoires as assets in every classroom.
• Shows how AI can serve as a creative and critical partner that supports translation, feedback, and design, yet keeps human relationships and judgment at the center of teaching and learning.
