Title: From Correction to Collaboration: Positioning AI as a Thinking Partner in Russian Language Writing
College/Department: College of Arts & Sciences, Modern Languages & Literatures
Student Enrollment: 8-12
Course: RUSS 011 010 - Intermediate Russian I
Proposal: The curriculum redesign for Intermediate Russian I (RUSS 011 010) aims to transform the integration of generative AI from a passive, corrective tool into a robust pedagogical scaffold that enhances writing development. Currently, students utilize AI inconsistently, often prioritizing superficial corrections over deeper engagement with clarity and genre awareness. By implementing structured prompting strategies and guided revision cycles, the initiative seeks to position AI as a "thinking partner," thereby fostering greater metacognitive awareness, self-regulated learning, and critical evaluation skills. This shift intends to empower students in a mixed Heritage and second language (L2) classroom to engage strategically with feedback while maintaining their unique authorial voice.
