Voice Recognition and Adaptive Learning in English Language Learning

When used effectively, AI learning platforms provide many benefits for the student. Two of the most useful features for language learners are speech recognition and adaptive learning systems.

Adaptive learning AI tools use algorithms to analyze the learner’s data and create personalized content designed for him.  They can also adjust the learning experience based on the student’s progress. This means that the student has access to personalized learning paths that will be more useful for his learning process and for achieving his goals.

How motivating would it be to have lessons continuously adapted to your needs so that you worked with the right level of challenge and support to be successful? How convenient would it be to access these services any time you wanted?

Another great feature of AI tools, used for language learning is speech recognition

Speech recognition offers different benefits that aid the language learning process. Some of the most evident are: immediate feedback, improving the learner’s listening skills (when interacting with voice-activated devices), and personalized learning

This type of AI tool recognizes and responds to spoken language. They analyze the learner’s speech, give him feedback on accuracy and fluency, and simulate real-life conversations to help him improve his speaking skills.

The ability of such tools is also relevant in the domains of accent training and pronunciation practice. As mentioned before, AI tools can recognize and analyze spoken language. This allows them to identify mistakes in pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm, to then give feedback to the learner on his performance. Despite what can be thought, this capability makes speech recognition tools inclusive, since they can be tailored to recognize and adapt to a variety of accents, promoting a multicultural approach to language learning

There are many tools available today, with different features to choose from. How do we know which one is best for us? Perhaps think about the accuracy of the tool, if it is user-friendly, and how much support it provides in terms of feedback and suggestions. In the end, it has to work for you and satisfy your needs.

How often do you think you should use AI tools for language learning? That probably depends on your particular situation but it is important, if you want to see real changes, that you make it a daily habit to practice and combine these tools with other methods such as textbooks, and your language classes (with a real teacher!).

Technology will not vanish from the future of education and language learning. In the future, learners will be able to study from anywhere in the world at their speed. They will establish their objectives, and follow a personalized path towards them, in many ways thanks to AI tools. We have said before, that AI helps students by providing adaptive, personalized learning experiences in addition to what their traditional lessons offer. With that in mind, we can’t help but embrace the advancement of AI and the fact that it will keep on transforming the way people learn languages in a multilingual world.
