One of the biggest challenges Japanese EFL learners face is limited access to speaking opportunities outside the classroom, which hinders fluency development. At the same time, the time-intensive nature of spoken tasks makes it difficult for teachers to provide individualized feedback and analytics. This hands-on workshop introduces Tevo, a web-based AI chatbot application designed to help solve both problems through role-based conversation, real-time feedback, and detailed learning analytics.

After a short overview of Tevo’s core features, participants will create and deploy chatbots aligned to their own course content. You’ll get to experiment directly with voice-based interaction, explore the real-time feedback system, and examine how analytics can guide classroom instruction. We’ll conclude with a Q&A focused on best practices and strategies for integrating AI while preserving the central role of teachers.
