Struggling with assessing your students' English language skills after the GenAI genie has been let out of the bottle? I ran a workshop today on this topic with some great teachers from Benelux and Switzerland. Sharing my summary slide below. One thing that surprised me was the range of approaches that schools take to GenAI - everything from full-blooded embrace to virtual exorcisms. Really tricky for teachers and students to navigate through this....

Do you speak German? We're doing some testing here at Medusaas to explore the capabilities of AI language translation and dubbing. We'd like to know how good this video turned out from a dubbing perspective. If you’d like to help us test, we've included the original English version for comparison. The video is 1:41 seconds in length. All feedback is welcome. We will publish the results of this test in the coming days.

Professor Galimberti is always an illuminating voice in the landscape of education in Italy… 🇮🇹 In the post in question, shared by La Stampa, the philosopher and professor highlights the importance of questions as well as that of answers, in an era where the latter abound, but the former are lacking. 😔 I have always believed that the engine of effective education is curiosity, but how can curiosity arise if not from the questions themselves? And how can we ask questions if, almost before we pose them, tools like ChatGPT, or the algorithms of social media platforms that know us better than we know ourselves, have already provided us with the answers? 🤔 Instilling the famous DOUBT about things, helping to destroy certainties and prejudices to create new ones and form independent thinkers, will be one of the greatest challenges of our generation. 🧑🧑🧒🧒 I believe that the Italian school, a system with enormous unrealised potential in terms of accessibility and the cultural tradition of our country, has the duty to ask these questions, and to do so while also keeping another objective in mind. 🎯 I am referring to the need to provide students with the tools to realise themselves personally first and foremost, but also professionally, through greater guidance that increases awareness regarding the world of work, from which even many university students unfortunately seem completely detached. 🎓😰 Follow Samuele Giabardo for more #education content. #education #university #school

#3MTTOctoberKnowledgeShowcase Name: Deji Gbayegun Fellow ID: FE/23/81357889 Cohort 2 Hello everyone, I'm participating in the #3MTTKnowlegeShowcase for the month of October. I’m glad to share my journey in creating an AI-powered Sign Language Translator that bridges the gap for deaf and mute learners, ensuring access to quality tech education in Nigeria. It features a Tech Vocabulary Engine powered by a custom-built ML model, achieving a very high accuracy in understanding tech terminology within specific contexts. Additionally, its Adaptive Learning capability improves with use and incorporates community-driven vocabulary updates to stay current. Finally, our Accessibility-First design ensures compatibility with low-end devices, minimal data consumption, and battery-efficient processing, making it highly accessible for all users. Inclusion is not just a goal; it’s a necessity. This project reflects the power of technology to drive real-world impact. Watch as I share insights into this innovative solution, its development process, and the change it aims to bring. Kindly leave your thoughts in the comment section. 3MTT Nigeria #3MTTLearningCommunity #My3MTT

Many people believe that once their language skills are better, they’ll automatically be able to speak up in meetings and make presentations with confidence. But that’s not the case. Language proficiency us just one element that’s necessary. To make yourself heard whether it’s in social interactions at the coffee machine, raising points in the the team meeting or presenting your ideas on stage at the congress you have to first feel comfortable being visible. Think about it, how can you possibly use any of your language skills if the very thought of being visible terrifies you? What do you think? I’m Louise and I help non-native introverted scientists in the Pharma and Biotech industry gain the confidence to be seen and heard so they can get the recognition they deserve and desire.  DM me to arrange a discovery call to see how we might work together to achieve your goals. #pharma #scientist #communicationskills #personaldevelopment

You don't need to be forced into learning foreign languages. Unless it's a hobby, focus on making money. If you go to China speaking your local language but with money, they'll pay for translation services to understand you. In the AI age, understanding any document is just a click away. For contracts and laws in any country, visit www.wakili.org — it understands law in 72 languages. #Focus #ForeignLanguage

Doctors: How do you know you are making progress? When you get on a train from A to B, each station you pass reassures you that you're going in the right direction. 🚉 It's similar on a canal boat, but the journey is slower. 🚣♂️ We all learn at different speeds, but we all want to know we are making progress. But with language learning, we can't measure our progress as easily as a journey in kilometers (or miles in the UK 🙂 ). So, how can you measure your progress? 🎤 Record yourself speaking regularly. Listen to the recordings and do the following: 1️⃣ Note the words you once found difficult to pronounce that you now pronounce effortlessly. 2️⃣ Count the self-corrections: They show your improved ability to identify and correct your own errors. 3️⃣ Count your hesitations and filler words: 'mm' and 'ah'; fewer of these indicate increased fluency. 4️⃣ Make a note of words you now use that were once only in your passive vocabulary. These are your stations, showing you that you are on the right track. This is why I ask all my clients to record themselves. I want them to hear their progress and notice what I hear. 👩⚕️ How do you measure your progress? 👨⚕️ Share your methods in the comments below. ________________ 🌸 Connect Rachel Williams I get international doctors having fluent, meaningful conversations in English.
