Utilizing ChatGPT to integrate world English and diverse knowledge: A transnational perspective in critical artificial intelligence (AI) literacy

Abstract

This article proposes the implementation of a transnational post-digital pedagogy and Critical AI literacy incorporating ChatGPT in the classroom. It draws upon Scott Graham's suggestion for a multidimensional recursive writing process, emphasizing fact-checking and revision while utilizing ChatGPT. Additionally, it incorporates Suresh Canagarajah's (2019) theorization of transnational habits of writing among most international, multilingual, and marginalized students, which, according to him, are characterized by rhetorical sensitivity, depth of awareness, and linguistic knowledge. Based on these empirical and theoretical perspectives, this article proposes pausing, pondering, posing, and prioritizing as critical praxis that can be built into metacognitive activities. To explain this praxis, it showcases two kinds of metacognitive activities for fostering transnational habits among students through fact-checking processes. Similarly, it suggests designing the revision phase of writing assignments to allow students to incorporate their English language skills into the classroom. This paper identifies engaging in critical dialogue with ChatGPT and encouraging self-reflection on fact-checking and revision as effective ways to cultivate a transnational habitus among students. It concludes that adopting a transnational post-digital critical pedagogy and critical AI literacy in the writing process benefits both national and international students by promoting diverse linguistic norms and perspectives.
