BC TEAL is proud to present our 2025 Annual Conference: Disruptive Educational Practices: Strategies for Transformation.
Educators shine in times of change to face unexpected challenges. This is when creativity flourishes by combining proven practices with fresh and innovative ideas. These times call for transformation which can be rooted in tradition or experience, or it can arise through unexplored approaches. The synthesis of old and new ideas drives meaningful progress. Join other insightful and creative educators as we flourish within the power of our community.
In times of change, educators thrive by integrating emerging technologies with established pedagogical practices. This session will demonstrate how AI-powered tools can transform language learning in higher education, making instruction more interactive and adaptive. First, the speaker will discuss the role of AI in modern classrooms and its impact on student engagement. Next, we will explore three powerful AI tools: Kapwing, which enables educators to craft and modify multimedia content seamlessly; Eleven Labs, which generates authentic listening materials to enhance pronunciation and cultural awareness; and Perchance, which creates AI-generated narratives for scenario-based language learning. Finally, the speaker will examine student feedback and classroom applications, showcasing AI’s ability to promote critical thinking, creativity, and real-world connections. By embracing these tools, educators can foster a vibrant and transformative learning environment, exemplifying the power of innovation in education.
