Excellent summary! I really liked how the key learning principles were explained in a practical and easy-to-follow way. Articles like this make instructional design concepts much more approachable for both new and experienced educators. I hope to read more content like this.

Comment on Prompting With Purpose: Designing AI Interactions for Language Learning by Chris Fry, Barcelona

I was disapointed that there was no mention of the role of ‘Coach’ in speaking activities. and feel some of the problems you discovered with feedback on writing apply equally to feedback on speaking.
For example, you said, “One recurring challenge was that ChatGPT often wanted to improve student writing by making it more sophisticated rather than more accurate.” is a problem when students ask for feedback on their recordings of speaking activities, too.
I found that ChatGPT and Gemini are getting better and better at adapting suggestions for improving students’ speaking when asked to identify, but possibly not reveal, the CEFR level of a student’s audio file. Even to the extent of A1, A1+, A2, A2+ etc
At present only Gemini offers feedback on the sounds students make, so I recommend it as it can be more useful than ChatGPT for help on pronunciation.
I look forward to explring the https://z.umn.edu/promptedlanguageprompts

What a wonderful recap of FLEAT 8 in Hawaiʻi! The mix of AI-driven workshops (especially the ChatGPT-based educational games and LibreTexts ADAPT) alongside traditional Hawaiian cultural moments like the Hula Kahiko really captures the spirit of blending technology with community. Wishing the organizers and IALLT the best as they prepare for FLEAT 9 in Madison in 2027!

Quizlet Live is an absolute game-changer for world language classrooms! Unlike Kahoot where it’s purely individual speed, the team-based aspect of Quizlet Live forces students to actually communicate and look at each other’s screens. And yes, piggybacking off other teachers’ textbook sets is the ultimate time-saver! Thanks for sharing this awesome write-up.

Comment on Speaking Struggles in the Classroom? Address it with Speakable by Octordle

The instant AI feedback sounds like a useful feature, especially for quick improvements, but I think it’s still important to combine it with guidance from a teacher or instructor for the best learning experience.

Comment on Navigating Online Survey Fraud: Lessons from a Study on Open Educational Resources in Spanish for Specific Purposes by Content True

The point about verifying institutional affiliation before using survey responses is especially useful. In language education research, the AI-generated answers can look fluent enough to pass a quick review, so keeping an audit trail and checking identity signals before analysis feels just as important as the survey design itself.

In reply to Russ H. Yeah! I feel like I'm pretty chaotic in what order I add elements to the page, so I'll have to think a lot harder or maybe do some more storyboarding to improve this. Or maybe I'll just make a slide and then when I think it's finalized, I'll make a new slide and copy and paste stuff on the new slide in the right order. It would be better if we could adjust the order though!
