Abstract

This chapter evaluates the use of AI for redesigning a foreign (Arabic) language course to significantly incorporate several SDGs. The course provides conditions for experiential learning where students examine their impact on the planet, make meaningful improvements to their lifestyles to lower their carbon footprint, and grow as thoughtful global citizens. It also stimulates students to reflect on the differences between Western and Arab countries' engagement with sustainability goals through real-world scenarios. The analysis focuses on the positive contributions and challenges that AI presents toward the redesigning goal. In particular, it explores how using AI technology in class and for creating course materials affects HIPs elements: significant time on task; frequent, timely feedback; substantive interactions with faculty, peers, and diverse people and ideas; structured reflection and integration of learning; real-world applications; public demonstration of competence; significant learning elements: foundational knowledge, application, integration, human dimension, and learning to learn.
