Harnessing Generative AI for Language Learning: Creating Written and Oral Practice Materials

In this session, participants will explore how to leverage generative AI to create innovative written and oral activities tailored to their existing course materials, including textbooks, class presentations, and other instructional resources. Attendees will learn to design and implement a personalized AI assistant trained on their course content, configure activity types for targeted student practice, and prepare the assistant for student use. The session will also discuss qualitative differences in outcomes from various generative AI models, helping participants understand their impact on teaching and learning to make informed decisions about AI integration.
