The CLC has long been dedicated to driving innovation in language pedagogy. In this workshop, the three speakers demonstrated how artificial intelligence (AI) can be integrated with gamification elements to enhance language teaching and assessment design, showcasing AI’s potential to boost student motivation and learning outcomes. They also presented a series of forward‑looking, evidence‑based teaching practices. Professor Gao Xiaoping elaborated on PolyU’s “Education 4.0” vision in response to the age of AI, explaining how the University is leveraging AI to reshape educational models, support language learning, and build a complete “Learning – Practice – Assessment” teaching loop. The workshop content was rich and multidimensional, covering AI‑powered interactive learning tools, real‑time feedback systems, and gamified assessment strategies. A live demonstration of PolyU CLC’s AI‑powered Chinese learning metaverse was also featured, offering attendees cutting‑edge teaching insights and practical inspiration.
