Description
The rapid advancement of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and the widespread adoption of online educational technology (EdTech) platforms present significant opportunities for enhancing English test preparation. Recent studies have evaluated the capabilities of large language models across various domains, including standardized exams, and highlighted their potential in facilitating personalized learning (Chang et al., 2023; Dao et al., 2023; de Winter, 2023). However, effectively integrating these technologies into classroom instruction requires strategic approaches and hands-on training (Tipayavaravan et al., 2023; Trương, 2023). This interactive workshop will equip participants with techniques for leveraging generative AI to create customized materials aligned with TOEIC/ IELTS formats, such as cloze passages and conversational prompts. Participants will gain practical experience using AI writing assistants and learn best practices for incorporating AI-generated resources into engaging activities and assessments through EdTech platforms like Quizizz, Kahoot, and Quizlet. By combining the latest developments in generative AI and EdTech, the workshop aims to empower English instructors to deliver more personalized, efficient, and impactful test preparation experiences.
