Abstracts

        With the growing accessibility of large language models, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into academic writing is increasingly prevalent. Drawing on experiences as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) in a self-access center at a Canadian university, this reflection explores how multilingual writers engage with AI. Observations from writing consultations and conversations reveal diverse scenarios, frequencies, and strategies of AI use among these international students. Key aspects examined include their awareness, attitudes, intentions, and experiences regarding AI tools. Particular attention is given to how multilingual writers perceive the language proficiency and content rigorousness of AI, reflecting both opportunities and challenges they face. Through the lens of inclusive education, this reflection evaluates AI's potential to empower multilingual writers by mitigating language barriers and enhancing equity in academic English writing. Additionally, the study considers the role of educators and institutions in shaping students’ AI use, emphasizing the need for clear guidelines and support systems to harness AI responsibly and effectively. These reflections aim to contribute to broader discussions on the intersection of technology, linguistic diversity, and academic integrity, particularly in fostering a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for non-native English speakers.

TPC 2025 From Plates to Conversations (Abstract)

From Plates to Conversations:  Exploring Commensality as an Inclusive Strategy for Postgraduate Curricula Samridhi Gulia, Shunyan Lyu, Smriti Gulia | School of Education, Thompson Rivers University Abstract           This narrative inquiry explores the role of commensality, practices with roots in Indigenous traditions, as an inclusive strategy for fostering intercultural engagement among a diverse student population.
