LLMs in English Departments: Teaching Rhetoric as AI Literacy

Dr. Tanya Olson from UMBC’s Department of English discusses how she reframes interactions with generative AI as a rhetorical act within language-driven systems. In her ENGL 211 Writing with AI course, students apply principles of audience, purpose, tone, and revision to AI interactions, learning to treat models as thinking partners rather than text generators.
