We built an argument for the necessary change in teacher and reseacher positionality in praxis required for these developments to happen.

We outlined the praxis with language teachers in DD-Lang, focusing on how our engagements with the teachers allow for simultaneous development of the DD-Lang tasks, mediation, and procedures and teacher understanding of assessment, learning and teaching with the goal to develop classroom practices.

What makes DD-Lang special is that #teachers and #learners are not our participants but our collaborators. They help us to move the project forward in Zoom-meetings and discussions when we visit the #schools all around #Finland.

We have also presented in numerous conferences throughout the world, including #AAAL2023 #AAAL2024 #EALTA2024 #LTRC2024, #AIRiAL2024, and #SCT-SLL on #mediation in #DA, #assessment #fairness #constructss, and #AI
