ELT and Coding Education Embrace Human‑Centric AI Strategies

Educators at the Innovate ELT conference highlighted the need to balance digital innovations with analogue teaching methods. Sessions stressed face‑to‑face interaction, pen‑and‑paper techniques, and human‑centered learning as essential complements to AI‑generated materials in English language classrooms.

Simultaneously, advocates for computer‑science education argue that teaching coding remains vital despite AI code generators. They stress foundational understanding of algorithms, data flow, and digital citizenship, while promoting no‑code and AI‑assisted tools to broaden access and make programming more tangible for a diverse student population.
