This initiative is designed to introduce staff to the practical applications of technology in language teaching, learning, assessment, and research.<\/h2><h2>The workshops aim to create awareness of emerging educational technologies and to provide hands-on experience in using AI-powered platforms for lesson planning, material development, grammar instruction, feedback generation, academic writing support, and learner engagement. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore the ethical considerations and responsible use of AI in academic and teaching contexts.<\/h2><h2>Workshops are held every Wednesday at the English Laboratory from 2.00 pm onwards, offering an interactive space for discussion, experimentation, and professional development. This series serves as a valuable platform for educators and learners to stay updated with current innovations and to meaningfully integrate technology into English language
