FanTALES – Transformative digital storytelling for learning languages FanTALES stands for transformative digital storytelling for learning languages.

Ich habe es gestern experimentell überprüft: Studierende brauchen 30 Sekunden länger, um eine Fanfiction-Geschichte zu Super Mario zu schreiben (unter Verwendung von FanTALES.eu Prompts), als ich brauche, um über den Campus zu joggen, meinen Aufhebungsvertrag zu unterschreiben, und zurückzujoggen :)

As much as we see value in generative text technologies for language learning and teaching - when used wisely pedagogically and with respect for the creative work of authors - our values and mission do not align with those of OpenAI. Alternative GenAI applications are out there.

QuitGPT — OpenAI Execs are Trump's Biggest Donors Join the movement. Delete ChatGPT. Cancel your subscription. It's time to quit.

Going forward, we will stop promoting the use of ChatGPT in our workshops and materials. ChatGPT is Trump's biggest donor, and ICE uses a screening tool powered by OpenAI's GPT-4. quitgpt.org

To start this Friday on a cheerful note, here's a random joke that a hobbit found in our workshop archives this morning. It's a mash-up of some of our favourite fandoms: playing with languages and Blackadder!

Throwback to #TBLT2025: in lovely Groningen (where the seeds for FanTALES were planted in 2014), @meryenda.bsky.social and @fcornillie.bsky.social playfully shared three of our lesson ideas and materials for teaching English and Spanish with fanfiction. What a great audience! DM us for the slides
