Presentation Eigo.AI: Assisting and Enhancing the Human-centric English Language Teaching and Learning Process more
Sat, Jul 19, 11:35-12:00 Asia/Tokyo
The age of AI is finally with us, and brings with it far-reaching implications for language teachers and learners around the world. But how do we utilize the affordances of Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI-powered technologies for the best English language learning outcomes? While the technology may have changed, the pedagogy in many respects remains the same. Students still need lots of exposure to comprehensible input, and they still need to produce a lot of meaningful output. It’s still a challenge for some students to find the opportunity to use the language productively, and it’s still a challenge for many teachers to give extensive personalized feedback to every individual in large speaking and writing classes. In the context of English language learning in Japan, many students still fall way below the recommended 2500+ hours of engagement with English by the time they graduate from college. Eigo.AI aims to assist and enhance this human-centric English language teaching and learning process. It offers a library of lessons on a wide range of topics, from historical events and figures to important scientific discoveries and much more. It combines OpenAI's cutting-edge LLMs with human proof-reading to provide engaging materials in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Students receive AI-powered feedback on their speaking and writing skills, and all their progress and engagement can be easily tracked and monitored by teachers. Eigo.AI provides students with that all-important extra exposure to English and helps solve some age-old pedagogical problems with the latest advances in AI.
Presentation Eigo.AI: A Deep Dive Into Our Features for English Language Learners and Teachers more
Sat, Jul 19, 12:15-12:40 Asia/Tokyo
This session provides a comprehensive walkthrough of Eigo.AI’s feature set for learners, educators, and institutional managers. We start with the learner experience, highlighting the extensive lesson library covering topics from global culture to scientific breakthroughs with beginner to advanced levels, and the ability to quickly find content by category or keyword. Students engage with seven integrated activity types: Watch, Listen, Read, Speak, Review, Write, Discuss. Each activity is designed to build the four core language skills through multimodal practice. Learners benefit from AI-driven real-time feedback on their writing and speaking, with comments optionally localized to their first language to promote understanding and self-correction. Progress tracking features include a unified dashboard showing usage statistics, logs, and reports, while numerous options and settings allow students to personalize their learning journey. Next, we delve into teacher account capabilities: including lesson curation, class creation, and detailed monitoring tools that display real-time scores, submission logs, and lesson completion rates. Finally, we explore our institutional account features, including custom lesson creation tailored to curricula; bulk user registration and onboarding; access code purchase and redemption; activity, lesson, and student settings with per-class overrides; and the ability to log in as any user to troubleshoot or offer targeted support. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for leveraging Eigo.AI’s ecosystem to deliver scalable, AI-augmented English instruction and accelerate learner success.
