The panelists strongly emphasised the importance of reading, literature, language proficiency and meaningful engagement with AI. They stressed that students must be taken back to stories to develop interest in literature. They cautioned that reducing literature to summaries could weaken the very foundation of English departments. The need to bring English drama back into classrooms and introduce academic writing at the undergraduate level was also highlighted.
The speakers observed that teachers themselves must continue reading and inspire students to do the same. As emphasised during the discussion, “Learning is hard,” and making learning overly easy can reduce curiosity and intellectual engagement.
