CREATION OF LEARNING CONTENT - e.g. instructions, reading texts, scripts for listening exercises and videos etc., or summarize longer texts and video scripts.
Generative AI tools can help language instructors gather and organize data for their learning content by scraping the web for relevant information and presenting it in an easily digestible format. It can direct content to specific audiences, at a specific level, take on a persona, and can generate conversations between specified characters. For this reason it can be a useful support in the production of original learning content, like reading and listening comprehension. It can also produce the set of questions (multiple choice or true/false etc) that will enable instructors or learners to check comprehension.
From Openai and Microsoft respectively, these are probably the most widely-used of the generative AI tools, along with Google's bard and Anthropic's Claude. There is also a community effort to create open-source models, which show the value of shared effort and help advance research in the field. Here are some examples:
