This poster and presentation will draw on a case study of a student from a no n-English speaking background who used Generative AI to translate a paper written in her primary language into English for submission which she then further refined. While many institutions require students using Generative AI to disclose use and outline how they used it, the line between original work and plagiarism can be blurred. This can be further complicated when rubrics assess against grammar, style or expression. On the flipside, use of Generative AI by students from non-English speaking backgrounds can be an equaliser, assisting students to express themselves in English and to improve their comprehension of complex materials. This digital poster seeks to develop key considerations for higher education institutions in creating guidelines and educational practices that promote ethical use of Generative AI by students from non-English speaking backgrounds for translation of their own work from their primary language.
