Privacy-conscious, teacher-mediated GenAI implementation: anonymized feedback, pre-programmed prompts, and accessible original comments¶

Description¶

The article's ethics section recommends a microethical implementation for the speaking classroom: students' oral production is not submitted to GenAI agents; instead "students' anonymized feedback is sent to GenAI agents", meeting privacy and data-protection requirements. Pre-programmed prompts and specialized chatbot agents handle comments rather than students interacting directly with GenAI tools, and grading remains the purview of the teacher while training materials and original peer feedback stay accessible so students can check for hallucinations.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Students must understand the basic affordances and limitations of GenAI tools, particularly potential hallucinations and bias; teachers supervise every level of the process and can adjust outputs

Constraints¶

• LLM outputs may still introduce biases not present in teacher-designed materials, because bias can arise from model training data and prompt interpretation

Target Learners¶

• EFL/ESL university speaking students

Target Learning Goals¶

• Formative, non-summative peer feedback use with preserved student agency

Related Strategies¶

• Address core ethical challenges—data privacy, algorithmic fairness, and transparency—when deploying AI-driven personalized learning
• Institutional governance should establish practical conditions supporting AI literacy, learner agency, and critical evaluation rather than relying on prohibition and detection
• Train teachers in prompt engineering, evaluating AI-generated responses, ethical and privacy considerations, and integrating AI outputs into pedagogical decision-making
