ChatGPT and other mainstream Large Language Models (LLMs) have ushered in a new wave of AI tools and best practices. However, mainstream AI models weren’t exactly made with the ESL learner in mind. Pace AI augments any curriculum to make it accessible to an ESL learner, by equipping each learner with their personal AI Tutor who meets them where they are, in scaffolded English at their level and in 250+ languages, and crafts personalized learning experiences that bridge skills and language acquisition across speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

 

OTAN is inviting ESL High Beginning - Advanced level instructors to explore how AI can be used responsibly to extend and augment English instruction for adult learners. Join us to hear from Juan Noguera, Director of Burbank Adult School, as he shares how his program has empowered both instructors and learners to leverage AI, along with best practices for how they implemented Pace over the past year. Also joining the session is My Tran, a designer at Pace and a former ESL student, who will share how instructors can incorporate Pace effectively in and out of the classroom.

 

Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how Pace benefits ESL teachers and learners, practical strategies for implementation, and information on how to sign up to pilot Pace AI for free! All skill levels and experience with AI are welcome!
