Invited Panel Discussion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Expertise in the Teaching of Writing Revisited<\/strong>
in the Age of AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chair: Amy B. M. Tsui<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panelists: Icy Lee, Paul Kei Matsuda, Amy B M Tsui (Chair)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advent of AI has transformed the nature of classroom teaching and learning, and one of the important consequences is that it has upended what had been considered effective pedagogies. In the prominent work on expertise, Dreyfus and Dreyfus (1986) pointed out that when confronted with a novel situation, an expert who is highly skilled in his or her domain often becomes a novice once again as they learn and adapt to this unfamiliar situation (see also Berliner, 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that the impact of AI on all aspects of humanity is not even fully understood, and its impact on education cannot be fathomed, a legitimate question to ask is this: since all teachers are learning to cope with AI in the classroom, how meaningful is it to distinguish between expert and novice teachers in this era? In an equally prominent piece of work, Hatano and Inagaki (1986) coined the term \u201cadaptive expertise\u201d to characterize the ability of an expert to apply and adapt existing knowledge to solve problems arising from novel situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the situation is novel, experts must also go through a learning process just as novices do (see e.g., Wineburg, 1998). Then the legitimate question to ask is: How is the learning of an expert teacher qualitatively different from that of a novice teacher? What is embodied in \u201cadaptive expertise\u201d in teaching, and specifically in the teaching of writing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this panel discussion, three panelists will explore these questions from different perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icy Lee will address these questions by examining areas in which L2 writing teachers surpass GenAI, for example, the development of a credible academic voice, hence underscoring the indispensable role of writing teacher expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Kei Matsuda will problematize the simplistic novice-expert binary and offer an alternative conception of expertise as the ongoing development of knowledge, skills and awareness in a specific context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy B M Tsui will approach these questions from a conceptual perspective. She will also draw on her research on expert teachers to elucidate what the concepts proposed look like in the context of L2 classroom teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
