Implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in EFL Classes: an Analysis of Its Praxis in Oral Communication Courses to Boost Learners’ Speaking Skills at Universidad Nacional (UNA), Campus Liberia
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2025) Chavarría-Chavarría, José Enrique
The purpose of this essay is to inform about the importance of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in oral communication courses to boost learner’s speaking skills at a university level. Indeed, it is known that teaching oral courses in college is not an easy task for teachers since they want their learners to become effective, efficient, and productive in English. This is a serious concern, and teachers ought to be creative, enthusiastic, and responsible for achieving the learning goals that their learners have, that is, the former want to give AI different pedagogical uses to help their learners accomplish those set learning goals. With AI-generated resources, teachers know that using these technological tools help support students in their language performance as the latter sometimes face some difficulties in language use, and that can be noticed in oral communication courses. Therefore, AI becomes an ally in the development of an English class because it offers many tools that both teachers and students can implement during the teaching-learning process. AI is not a new tool because it has been available since the Internet was invented; however, EFL teachers and students are now aware of the benefits it might bring if it is well-introduced in the described courses.
The usage of a differentiated instruction strategy to teach heterogeneous english groups in a Costa Rican context
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2022) Lopez Cerdas, Cristopher; Zúñiga Vargas, Juan Pablo
Heterogeneous groups, also called mixed ability groups or classes, are one of the most challenging student populations for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. Currently, the lack of contextual research on the realities of heterogeneous groups in Costa Rica has created a need to collect important constructive aspects that could help teachers with heterogeneous groups. This paper, summarizes key guidelines that Costa Rican teachers can follow to initially understand what heterogeneous groups are and how to address them with a differentiated instruction (DI) approach while considering the students’ needs, group work, a student-centered approach, and learning styles, to follow an informed path in teaching mixed ability students.
