Finally … Mat and Phil left their cocoon, you might say. In the first episodes of their podcast, they talked about their own work. Now they are venturing out. This is still on professional development in the context of GenAI, but now it is someone else’s perspective. Phil and Mat talk to Glenn Stockwell about his book chapter on “Professional development and learner training” and his open-access journal article “Legal, affective, and policy dimensions of the AI ecosystem in language education.” Glenn is a professor of Applied Linguistics at Hong Kong Education University and the the editor-in-chief of the journal Computer Assisted Language Learning.
