Opinion: Using AI With English Learners Without Cognitive Offloading
Original: How to Use AI With English Learners Without Encouraging Cognitive Offloading (Opinion)
An Education Week opinion piece argues that teachers of English learners should adopt AI tools in ways that support, rather than replace, students' own thinking. The author warns that easy access to AI answers can encourage cognitive offloading, where learners skip the mental work needed to build language skills, and offers classroom strategies to keep students actively engaged while using the technology.
Why now: Educators are actively debating how AI affects learning as the technology spreads through classrooms.
