Extensive Reading (ER) programs provide learners with the large amounts of comprehensible input necessary for language development. A persistent challenge, however, is helping learners move from input to active language use. This session explores how AI powered digital tools can bridge that gap by connecting ER with meaningful communication practice beyond the classroom. Through role plays, guided conversations with AI chat partners, and pronunciation practice with detailed, individualized feedback, participants will see practical examples of how learners can activate internalized language in low anxiety, engaging contexts to build fluency and confidence.
