Introduction
Organised by the Institute of Future Learning of the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), this four-session professional training aims to support current school teachers in designing and prototyping GenAI-powered story-writing agents that address language-learning needs in their own schools. Through a blend of practical lectures, hands-on workshops and Project-Based Learning (PBL), participants will move from foundational concepts to implementable GenAI solutions that provide personalised language learning, scaffold students’ creativity through story writing, and promote cultural sensitivity in teaching and learning.
Chief Trainers: Ir Prof LAM Hiu Fung, JP; and Prof CHEUNG Chak Chung Ray
