Participants will begin by reflecting on their
own listening materials and challenges, before revisiting what
listening activities are actually for: developing competence,
supporting learning, and enabling meaningful engagement with
language. Through guided tasks, they will design a pedagogically
grounded œlistening brief tailored to their learners, and use
AI tools to generate, evaluate, and refine listening scripts and
audio.
The
session includes practical exploration of AI-assisted scripting
and text-to-speech tools, with a strong emphasis on maintaining
authenticity, appropriate difficulty, and pedagogical purpose.
Throughout, participants will critically assess where AI adds
value”and where teacher expertise remains
essential.
By
the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a
ready-to-use listening activity adapted to their context, along
with a clearer framework for integrating AI into listening
pedagogy through principled alignments.
Pre-session preparation (15“20 minutes): Participants will be
asked to share and reflect on one listening activity they would like
to improve and have the opportunity to view pre workshop materials and
to interact with other participants (Canvas page)
