Description
The rapid integration of technology in education offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance language learning methodologies. This workshop explores the practical applications of Edpuzzle and ChatGPT, two innovative tools, in boosting interaction and engagement among students in the context of the new general national curriculum. Edpuzzle is an interactive video platform that allows educators to embed questions and annotations directly into videos, facilitating active listening and comprehension. ChatGPT, a conversational AI, engages students in dynamic dialogue exercises, improving their speaking fluency and interactive communication skills.
The session will provide a comprehensive overview of both technologies, demonstrating how they can be effectively integrated into language classrooms to foster a more interactive learning environment. Participants will learn how to use Edpuzzle to create customized video lessons that cater to the diverse needs of learners, and how to employ ChatGPT to simulate real-life conversations and debates that encourage spontaneous use of language.
Through hands-on activities, educators will experience the immediate benefits of incorporating these tools into their teaching strategies. The workshop will also address the challenges of using such technologies, including issues related to accessibility and the digital divide. Finally, the session aims to foster a collaborative discussion on best practices and innovative approaches to using technology to enhance listening and speaking skills under the new curriculum standards.
This workshop is designed for participants seeking to enrich their teaching repertoire with cutting-edge tools that align with modern educational demands and improve the interactive competencies of their students in listening and speaking.
