Acronym

ParlaIA

Reference code

PIEE 3897862

Description

This educational innovation project seeks to improve oral production in English through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital tools that foster a more dynamic and interactive learning environment. Its primary objective is to develop advanced communicative skills applicable to both academic and professional contexts. To support students in strengthening their oral competence, AI technologies will be incorporated into the foreign language classroom. These tools will assist learners in preparing and enhancing their oral presentations, offering opportunities to practice pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary within a safe and adaptive setting.

The project also includes an evaluation component to assess the impact of AI on foreign language learning. This will involve analysing students’ academic performance before and after the implementation of these tools, alongside surveys designed to gather insights into their perceptions, willingness to engage with AI, and views on its usefulness and effectiveness. Findings from this analysis will inform methodological adjustments, helping to refine teaching strategies and ensure the successful acquisition of oral language skills.
