The closing escape rooms and sunset cruise sound like they built real community, which fits the ʻOhana theme.

I really like this approach. Instead of asking whether AI belongs in language education, actually experimenting with carefully designed prompts gives teachers something much more useful: evidence from real classroom practice.
