The door to travel to the past: AI Tools!

 

Hello My Languagetors!👀

With the development of technology, many tools that make our lives easier have become part of our daily lives. One of these is undoubtedly AI. Today I come to you with a great creative idea. Thanks to AI, I had a great interview with Vincent Van Gogh! can you believe it? Now, thanks to AI tools, it is as if we can literally travel back in time and ask questions to anyone we want. We made our AI generated interview with Van Gogh on the MagicSchool website. It was very simple to use. If you want to do something similar, you can use this site. I would like to thank Rabia Çimen for accompanying and helping me in this process. I recommend you also check out his blog.

My experiences with AI tools

I am sure that AI has been very beneficial to me from the first moment it entered my life. When I ask about a subject I don't understand in class, he explains the subject to me like a teacher and even prepares questions about the subject. Yes, this is how our story started with AI tools. Then I learned that AI tools have great benefits in language learning. I mentioned that I am trying to learn Spanish these days. Thanks to AI tools, I have the opportunity to be aware of the mistakes I make while learning. Additionally, I learned this year that, thanks to AI tools, it is possible to prepare materials appropriate to the level of the student. It's truly incredible. In my adventure with AI tools, today I interviewed the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh. Technology is advancing very fast and new AI tools come into our lives every day and I can't wait to try new AI tools.

Would I add similar AI tools to my own teaching practices?

Definitely ! Because we are now in the age of technology and I think our approaches to teaching should be technology-oriented. How will we integrate this and similar AI tools into our lessons? I have no doubt about this. Now everyone has access to the internet and accessing AI tools is now very easy. On the other hand, similar AI tools can be given as project assignments and even implemented as in-class activities to improve students' communication skills as well as their writing practices.

Potential benefits and harms of AI tools for language learning:

The benefits of AI tools are too many to ignore. The most important innovative benefit of AI tools to language learning is definitely personalized language learning applications. Language learning has now become more accessible and easier, thanks to artificial intelligence, which determines the needs and deficiencies of language learners, as well as receiving instant feedback on their mistakes. The possible harm of AI tools can be considered as the lack of sufficient cultural transfer, as it will reduce face-to-face interaction. And for this reason, the motivation of some language learners may decrease.

As a result, My languagetors👀, today I told you about my AI adventure and talked about its possible effects on language learning. I want to hear your opinions on this matter. Let's meet in the comments section. By the way, you can access all the documents related to this assignment, i.e. interview, the first draft of the report, and the second draft of the report by clicking on their names.

See you my languagetors!👀
