Description

This initiative aims to enhance English listening skills for secondary students at Truong Thuc Hanh Su Pham through the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Recognizing the limitations of traditional textbook-based listening exercises, the author employed AI tools such as ChatGPT to generate customized listening texts aligned with students’ proficiency levels, and Google Text-to-Speech to convert texts into audio. The approach allows personalization by topic, length, and complexity, fostering student interest and engagement. Listening activities were implemented both in class and at home, supplemented by QR codes and vocabulary support materials. A structured five-step process was applied, including content creation, voice conversion, classroom practice, self-study, and feedback collection. Assessment results from class 9A1 indicated a significant improvement in students’ listening performance, with a notable increase in the number of students achieving high proficiency levels across three units and multiple tests. The initiative proved to be effective, scalable, and well-suited to local teaching conditions. It promotes active learning, self-study habits, and comprehensive skill development, and serves as a model for integrating AI into language education.
