Key AI tools that are really impacting on language teaching and learning

In this highly practical talk Russell will highlight some of the key tools that can impact on the preparation of our lessons, what we do in the classroom and also tools that can used by students outside the class to develop their autonomy. This is a talk packed with ideas focusing on simple tools that have a free option and that teachers will be able to work with immediately.

AI tools for generating interactivity and engagement in the lessons

There are a number of amazing time saving tools that allow you to generate quizzes in seconds and then use them in class or for homework. It is possible to choose a YouTube video, a text or even a document and generate a quiz from the content which you can then immediately use. Some of these tools offer generous free options and impressive quizzes that even include gamified elements. This really is AI at its best. In this talk, Russell will review the best tools and run some example activities with the audience. So have your phones or your computers ready!
