AI in Language Classrooms: Possibilities, Productivity, Personalization

‍

A fresh, future-focused way to teach languages‍

If you’ve ever wondered how to make language learning more engaging, more effective, and just a little bit easier for you as a teacher, this workshop is for you. Imagine planning lessons faster, creating customised tasks for your learners with a single prompt, or having AI generate new examples, texts and activities in seconds. In this online series, you’ll explore how artificial intelligence can open doors to new classroom possibilities while saving you time, boosting productivity and helping every learner succeed.

Course Details‍

Across the workshop series, we’ll dive into AI tools, teaching strategies, and real classroom applications — all designed for teachers who want to work smarter, not harder. You’ll get hands-on with practical tasks, build personalised learning materials, and try out AI apps that you can start using in your teaching immediately. Each session is discussion-friendly, interactive and teacher-centred, with space for questions, shared learning and idea-swapping. You can join one workshop or attend all — the evening session on each date repeats the afternoon session, so you can choose the time that suits you best.

Why AI is transformational for language teaching‍

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just another tool — it has the power to reshape how we teach languages. With AI, teachers can create differentiated resources instantly, design personalised grammar and vocabulary practice, and even simulate real-world conversational scenarios for learners. Instead of spending hours planning and marking, AI can automate routine tasks, freeing you up for what really matters: connecting with students, building confidence, and bringing the joy of language to life. For learners, it means more voice, more choice, and more meaningful practice at their own pace. For teachers, it means efficiency, creativity, and a fresh sense of possibility in every classroom moment.
