I read the interesting article about AI and English education.
A Chiba prefectural high school began experimenting with an AI-based English conversation practice system in September.
This system uses AI to determine conversation content based on the student's level of spoken English .
The article introduces usage scenarios
A student sits in front of a computer.
A female CG character asks her in English what she ate that morning.
The student replies in English that she had soup.
Then the Character says that that would make the morning nice and warm.
The key technology of this system is that AI judges the level of each student’s spoken English from the beginning of a conversation. Then AI changes the content of the exchange accordingly.
The students who used the program comment,
“ I made some grammar mistakes, but the AI replied positively and made it easy for me to talk with her."
“ I will have more chances to speak in English by using this system. “
The CEO of the company that developed this system says
“ The lack of improvement in speaking skills is a perennial problem in English education.
To improve your speaking ability, you need a partner ,but it’s not easy.
We're aiming for AI to help out on these points."
Reading this article,I’ve being so excited .
By using such a AI system , we could get one-on-one exchange between teachers and students anytime, anywhere.
