Teaching and assessing writing in the age of AI: reflections from the Oxford University Press Signature Event

Abstract:
The rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into educational practice presents profound opportunities for English language teaching, learning and assessment. Drawing on our panel discussion at the 2025 IATEFL Oxford University Press Signature Event, here we explore emerging tensions and possibilities for the teaching of writing and assessment in the age of AI. We argue for a reframing of risk that foregrounds equity, inclusion and human agency, examining both technological advancements and pedagogical implications. Through critical perspectives, practitioner insight and applied case studies, we outline a research-informed path for integrating AI tools in ways that support accessible and effective learning environments.
