This assignment, by Wei Xu, is from the TextGenEd: Continuing Experiments collection on the WAC Clearinghouse website.
The summary from the site explains:
This assignment asks students to use provided templates of prompts to feed ChatGPT for performing a recontextualization task named “Bilingual Genre Redesign,” meaning rewriting their existing text-based literature review into an open genre in two language versions. The ChatGPT assignment creates opportunities for students to critically engage with the language dynamics involved in the recontextualization process by evaluating whether and how the GPT-rewritten texts align with their understanding of shifted rhetorical context. Through seeing the limitations of AI in catching the fluidity needed in redesigned texts, students may develop a keener and critical awareness of AI use in their writing.
Key Features of This Assignment
- Analyzing Genre Conventions
- Students examine how AI-generated texts follow or challenge genre expectations in different languages, improving their awareness of rhetorical structures.
- Enhancing Multilingual Writing
- By generating and revising AI-produced bilingual texts, students refine their ability to write effectively across linguistic and cultural contexts.
- Comparing Rhetorical Strategies
- Students assess how AI adapts tone, style, and structure in multiple languages, deepening their understanding of cross-cultural communication in writing.
