In class, speaking activities will supplement the primary focus on writing and reading skills. The course includes students of varied abilities, so patience and initiative for improvement are encouraged from all.

English 292 syllabus
This document provides an overview of the syllabus for an introductory fiction writing course. It outlines course goals and learning outcomes which include improving writing skills, understanding fictional narratives, and critically analyzing texts. It describes assignments like a reading response journal where students summarize short stories, and a 3-minute student-led introduction.

From extensive reading to form-focussed learning
The document describes an activity where students read graded readers before class and then retell the stories to the teacher or their peers. As students tell the stories, their speaking is written down so it can be analyzed for errors or places where alternative language could be used. This allows the class to focus on form during communicative speaking activities. Implementing this in larger classes would involve students retelling to small groups first before sharing with the whole class. The goal is to give students massive comprehensible input through extensive reading while also prompting them to produce accurate output through focused feedback on their spoken retellings.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
