The role of writing developers at the times of AI tools: Czech Academic Phrasebank project

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Since John Morley published the Manchester Academic Phrasebank in 2005 (Davis &amp; Morley, 2022), it has become a widely used writing tool even among native English speakers (Davis &amp; Morley, 2018). Numerous efforts have been made in various countries to develop academic phrasebanks in their national languages (Jürine, 2018; Dubova et al., 2020; Zubaitienė et al., 2020; Rienecker, Jorgensen &amp; Jakobsen, 2020). In the Czech Republic, we have made a similar effort with the development of a Czech academic phrasebank. But can a phrasebank be useful in the context of the unprecedented development of AI writing tools capable of making decisions for the writer (Katsnelson, 2022) and even producing the full texts based on the writer&apos;s requirements (Anson &amp; Straume, 2022)? In this presentation, we argue that phrasebanks can be valuable pedagogical and research tools if they can connect the users with authentic, transparently built corpora and if they are accompanied by user/teaching guides. We share our case of developing the Czech phrasebank to illustrate what we have learned from the literature and other phrasebanks. We outline the steps that our interdisciplinary team has taken to build a corpus of research articles in Czech, develop a meaningful phrasebank and support it with a handbook for faculty and students (work-in-progress) to provide guidance on meaningful phrasebank use. We hope that our teaching-oriented presentation will help others think of useful ways to incorporate academic phrasebanks into their teaching so that students are empowered to make informed decisions even when using more advanced tools.
