ABSTRACT

Traditional language learning materials often lack the dynamic, engaging content needed to fully captivate students. This presentation introduces a narrative-driven approach to comprehensible input, leveraging AI to create adaptable and immersive language learning experiences. By using AI tools to develop interactive stories and tailored materials, educators can transform their classrooms into spaces of creativity and meaningful language acquisition.
In this session, participants will see a step-by-step demonstration of how AI can be used to generate stories and materials that are not only contextually rich but also aligned with learners’ proficiency levels. The presenter will showcase how AI tools were utilized to craft a narrative-driven lesson, complete with adaptable scaffolding for vocabulary and grammar. Attendees will gain insights into how these materials can be integrated into a course-long narrative or used as standalone activities.
This session is designed to empower educators with practical knowledge and strategies to create their own AI-driven materials. By the end of the presentation, participants will have a clear understanding of the tools and techniques they can use to develop engaging, customizable stories and resources that meet their students’ needs. This approach offers an innovative way to enhance comprehensible input and inspire learner engagement.
