AI, Speakable, and the Future of Language Teaching
About this episode
Learning a new language can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be! In this inspiring conversation, Spanish teacher Dawne Beck joins host Vicki Davis (Cool Cat Teacher) to share practical ways to create a low-anxiety, high-engagement classroom where students actually enjoy speaking another language.
From using game-based learning and storytelling to integrating AI pronunciation tools like Speakable, Dawne explains how to build students' confidence while keeping the focus on communication over perfection. She also discusses strategies for helping third-language learners and students who feel self-conscious about speaking in class.
