KEEPING IT HUMAN in the MFL Classroom

AI and translation tools have changed the MFL classroom. As teachers, we see the benefits, but we also see the risks: polished homework that hides gaps in understanding, overreliance on technology and students losing confidence in their own ability.Keeping It Human in the MFL Classroom is a practical guide for teachers who want to use new technology without losing the thinking, effort and human interaction at the heart of language learning.Drawing on more than twenty years of classroom experience, Eva Urzaiz explores realistic approaches to writing, translation, speaking, homework and assessment. She offers clear boundaries for AI use, practical teaching strategies and ways to check what students genuinely understand.This is not an argument against AI. It is a guide to using it thoughtfully, while protecting independence, curiosity and real learning.
