Congratulations to Dr. Kent, head of the TESOL-MALL graduate department, for publishing his second SCOPUS article this year. His article "A Room with a VUI-Voice User Interfaces in the TESOL Classroom" looks at how voice activated digital assistants could be useful in the classroom and how it would enhance the language learning environment.  

 

Abstract:

"Disruptive technologies have seen how students interact with their teachers, how we as teachers now prepare and provide learning, and how we might best incorporate artificial intelligence into the classroom.  To this end, the pedagogical affordances offered by the voice-user interface of digital assistants is explored.  Instructional strategies supported by examples are then provided, along with means for actioning their use in the classroom and evaluating their appropriateness and viability for enhancing language learning."
