The document discusses leveraging AI tools to enhance language learning by focusing on performance-oriented skills such as fluency and pronunciation while teachers concentrate on complex vocabulary and socio-pragmatic skills. It suggests creating a psychologically safe environment using AI chatbots to help anxious students practice speaking before engaging in group discussions. Additionally, it encourages a cycle of production where students refine their speech based on AI feedback to improve accuracy.

1.

Target "Performance-Oriented" Skills with AI

The research indicates that AI tools are exceptionally effective for fluency,
coherence, and pronunciation

· Classroom Strategy: Assign AI-powered tools for "drilling" and pronunciation


practice as homework or a warm-up activity. Use apps like ELSA Speak or SpeakAl
to help students "proceduralize" their speech in private before they come to class.

· · Teacher Role: In class, focus your instruction on knowledge-based skills


(sophisticated vocabulary, complex sentence structures) and socio-pragmatic skills
(tone, sarcasm, and cultural context) that current AI systems often struggle to
replicate.

2. Create a "Psychological Safe House"

The "silent classroom phenomenon" often stems from a fear of judgment or "face-
saving" concerns. AI provides a low-stakes, non-judgmental environment where
students feel safe making mistakes.

Classroom Strategy: For introverted or anxious students, use AI chatbots


(like ChatGPT or specific roleplay apps) as an "entry point" to speaking. Have
students complete a 10-minute AI conversation task before a group discussion
to lower their "affective filter" and build baseline confidence.

Expected Result: Research shows this can significantly increase a student's


willingness to communicate (WTC) when they finally transition to speaking
with human peers.

Encourage students to engage in "cycles of production"—where they record themselves, listen to the
AI's feedback, and then re-record the same sentence until they reach a certain accuracy threshold.
