AI Literacy for Teachers and Learners: Ethics, Agency and Assessment
The VietCALL International Conference 2026 invites scholars, educators, researchers, policymakers, and graduate students to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming language education.
As AI becomes deeply embedded in teaching, learning, and assessment, the field faces urgent questions:

- How can teachers and learners develop AI literacy beyond tool usage?
- How can assessment remain valid, fair, and meaningful in AI-supported environments?
This conference provides a platform to critically examine these issues while promoting evidence-based, pedagogically grounded, and socially responsible practices in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL).
