In this episode we hear how two students at the University of Copenhagen use generative AI (GAI) in their academic writing processes and what they think of it. We talk about the pros and cons of using GAI at the university, and we discuss how we can use GAI in relevant and ethically responsibly ways in our academic practices. The three guests describe how GAI can make some academic tasks and processes more effective, and that it has the potential to support students who sometimes struggle with reading, understanding and writing academic texts. But the guests are also very aware of the problems and ethical issues it also includes, such as copyright, confidentiality, climate impact, bias etc. The two students find that GAI writes in a different tone than they do themselves, and they primarily use GAI for revising and improving texts they have written themselves. They all emphasise that we should not be afraid to experiment with GAI, but that we need to talk more openly about how to use it, and that we need clear guidelines for the use of GAI at the university.

This episode is about language choice and language use at meetings at the University of Copenhagen. We all attend meetings, but how do we decide which languages to use when? And how does language choice affect meetings and those who attend them? How can we make sure that language choice at meetings leads to inclusion rather than exclusion? These are some of the questions we address. We also discuss the recommendations for meetings included in the UCPH language policy, and we hear accounts of how meetings are held in different parts of the university and what it is like to attend meetings in Danish if Danish is not your first language. Everyone should be able to take part in meetings at the university without feeling excluded due to language, but this is not always easy to achieve in a multilingual organisation. To work towards a good solution, a first important step is to initiate and carefully frame a conversation on language choice where different voices and perspectives can be heard. The next steps will be to design local principles for language choice and devise a clear plan for how to implement and evaluate them - and to keep the conversation going. There is not a single solution that will fit everyone in every situation, but to find the best compromise, we need to talk to each other about language and dare to say the unsaid out loud. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Host: Katja Årosin Laursen, academic language consultant at Center for Internationalisation and Parallel language Use (CIP), UCPH Guests: Christine Gulstad, academic officer at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (SUND), UCPH Lisbeth Verstraete-Hansen, head of department at the Department of English, Germanic, and Romance Studies (ENGEROM), UCPH Janus Mortensen, professor of multilingualism and language policy, CIP, UCPH Audio clip 2: Pete Westbrook, academic language consultant, CIP (recorded 26th of October 2023)

Denne episode handler om, hvordan det kan føles for internationale medarbejdere at skulle undervise på dansk som andetsprog, men også om hvordan studerende kan opleve denne situation. Vi taler blandt andet om nervøsitet for at skulle undervise på dansk, tilpasning af materialet og de faglige forklaringer, dialog med de studerende, forberedelsestid, opbakning fra ledelse og kolleger, behovet for at lære og bruge dansk og om konkrete gode råd til andre i samme situation. Derudover hører vi forskellige studerendes historier og erfaringer med at blive undervist på dansk som andetsprog.
