How AI and human intelligence can blend in the language lab to form personalized instruction
- An example from long before mobile computing but still: While I personally like communicative uses of the language lab infrastructure best (pairing, group conferences, with recording, screen sharing, collaborative writing),
- the above (click image to download and play WMV video, also on MAC – sorry, file won’t transcode) may be the 2nd best :
- The student is engaged
- primarily with a listening (comprehension) exercise using authentic target language media (German chanson),
- also with some light writing (recognition of vocabulary words)
- and receives automated feedback in response form quiz template.
- The communicative aspect is added
- through seamless, effortless, surgical and last not least private teacher intervention or “remote assistance”
- when the teacher (“automonitoring” all LAB300 students one after the other) notices from afar (even though thumbnail-sized, hence the large fonts of the quiz template)
- how the current automated error feedback may not be enough of an explanation, but may have created “a teachable moment”:
- Student heard phonetically correctly, but not etymologically. German “Fahrstuhl”, not “Varstuhl””: literally a “driving chair” – after this little intervention, likely a quite memorable compound.
- A good example how language lab computers need not get “in between you and your student”, but connect you – just like has become an everyday reality, in the meantime, in the social web world.
- The student is engaged
