AIALL and Queer Language Education to Prevent Gender-Based Violence

Abstract

The rise in gender-based violence demands urgent attention and action. As violence rates against women and trans and gender non-conforming people have increased alarmingly, there is an imperative need to review how today's societies fail to protect minoritized groups. Moreover, artificial intelligence has undoubtedly acquired relevance on the public scene, both seen as a threat and an ally to boost and fight against this type of violence. Following the socially and culturally responsive language teaching and English for social purposes and cooperation approaches, this chapter presents a teaching proposal to address gender-based violence in the language classroom. The tasks are designed following a non-biased gender and queer lens and taking advantage of different Artificial Intelligence tools. It aims to offer language teachers a practical guide for lesson planning and promote artificial intelligence assisted language learning. Ultimately, the chapter attempts to show the potential of queer language education to fight gender-based violence.
