在生成式 AI 广泛用于家庭中文学习的背景下，中文学校正面临如何“引导 AI 而非跟随 AI”的关键转向。基于雪城中文学校的实践，我们发现家长已将 AI 用于课后复习与语言辅导，而教师的专业引导直接影响学习深度与文化理解。为回应这一需求，我们开发了“蝴蝶框架（Butterfly Framework）”，一套以语言传承、文化理解与学习者主体性为核心的 AI 教学规划工具。本次工作坊通过讲解、示例与实践，带领参与者掌握框架的四个阶段与十个关键步骤，体验基于教材情境设计的对话型 AI，并完成一个可迁移的教学设计任务，最终带走一套可直接应用的 AI 教学策略。As more parents turn to ChatGPT and other generative AI tools to support their children’s Chinese learning at home, heritage schools face an urgent question: how can we guide this practice thoughtfully rather than react to it? At Syracuse Chinese School, we have seen this shift unfold in our classrooms and recognized the need for proactive teacher leadership. In response, we developed the Butterfly Framework, a planning tool that helps educators integrate AI with intention while keeping cultural transmission at the center of heritage education. Generative AI can generate practice materials, hold conversations, and personalize learning. Yet without deliberate alignment to a school’s cultural and pedagogical mission, it risks creating dependency or shallow engagement rather than meaningful understanding. Drawing on self-regulated learning theory and culturally sustaining pedagogy, the framework walks teachers through four stages: Identify and Reflect, Prepare and Design, Implement and Monitor, and Optimize and Celebrate. Each stage underscores the teacher’s role in ensuring technology strengthens—rather than overshadows—the essential work of sustaining language, culture, and identity. This approach frames teachers not simply as users of AI but as designers and decision-makers. By applying the framework, K–12 Chinese programs can harness AI’s potential in ways that reinforce cultural identity, promote collaboration between school and families, and support sustainable learning. This workshop will share insights from our early applications of the Butterfly Framework and invite participants to explore how it might be adapted within their own schools and communities.
