Description
As artificial intelligence (AI) integrates into English Language Teaching (ELT), systematic analyses reveal a surge of AI applications that enhance pedagogical effectiveness and learner engagement (Özçelik, 2025; Labadze, Grigolia, & Machaidze, 2023). AI has also been shown to boost L2 reading and listening skills, reducing anxiety and cognitive load while improving comprehension (Yuan, 2025; Xiao, 2025). This workshop will demonstrate effective strategies for IELTS and TOEIC preparation such as leveraging ElevenLabs’ fine-tuned text-to-speech to model prosody, using Poe’s adaptive quizzes to scaffold inference-making, and crafting targeted ChatGPT and Roshi.ai prompts to generate custom reading passages and audio transcripts - so that attendees leave with concrete lesson plans and ready-to-use prompts to elevate their receptive-skills instruction.
