In an era of rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, education is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. How can bilingual programmes achieve true “survival of the fittest” amid this transformative wave? This session explores innovative and sustainable pathways for bilingual education in the AI era, framed around the practical journey from curriculum standards to instructional design and assessment strategies.

The workshop will examine various models and core goals of bilingual programmes, and analyse the new demands on bilingual education—from language acquisition and cultural understanding to the shaping of thinking and learning dispositions that prepare students for the future. Through real-world examples, the session will showcase curriculum design principles and classroom practices, while reflecting on how bilingual programmes can maintain depth in language learning, breadth in cultural understanding, and warmth in social-emotional development in an increasingly intelligent world. The aim is to support the ongoing growth, resilience, and innovation of bilingual education.
