Human-Realistic AI Partners: The Future of Interpersonal Speaking Practice

Saturday October 17, 2026 2:45pm - 3:45pm EDT

High Street 26

Scaling 1-on-1 interpersonal speaking practice in world language classrooms can be challenging. Many students do not receive enough conversation time, struggle to find the right words, and feel less confident as a result. This session explores how teacher-driven AI conversation partners can expand individualized speaking practice and personalized feedback while teachers control the content, pedagogy, and “brain” behind the AI.

What will we discuss?

* Challenges of individualized speaking feedback
* How AI supports frequent, natural conversation practice
* How to program an AI avatar for effective conversations
* Methods for delivering personalized feedback to every student
