Wall Street English New ‘Conversation AI’ feature to transform English-speaking practice
English language learners can have AI-enabled real-life conversations in an anxiety-free environment
October 2 2024, Barcelona, Spain, – Wall Street English, the leading global hybrid English language education supplier, introduces its new Conversation AI feature to simulate real-life conversations, offering students an immersive and practical way to improve their English speaking skills.
This unique tool addresses the skills gap in English language learning, where students often excel in reading and writing but struggle with real-life conversation. The AI Conversation feature provides a safe, pressure-free environment for students to practice speaking, boosting their fluency and confidence.
The activity uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and AI to create natural and spontaneous dialogues, making speaking practice more dynamic and effective. The feature leverages multimedia by combining audio, image, and interactive text elements to create a rich, engaging learning environment that caters to various learning styles.
Traditional language education methods often lack engaging speaking practice. With Conversation AI, students can now experience language in context, building their confidence to speak before facing real-world interactions.
Research suggests that AI conversations should mimic real-life interactions between two people to help students gain a practical understanding of the language being taught. That’s why the AI activity also models appropriate conversational behavior, helping students practice not only language but also cultural nuances and conversational etiquette.
“Our goal is to empower students to communicate confidently in real-world situations,” said James Mc Gowan, CEO of Wall Street English. “With the Conversation AI feature, we’re giving learners a tool that adapts to their needs, feels like a natural conversation, and helps them build real speaking skills without the fear of making mistakes in front of others. It’s about making language learning more engaging, practical, and, most importantly, enjoyable.”
Conversation AI can create adaptive and personalized responses to the students’ speech ensuring the activity is aligned with each student’s level, learning pace and specific areas of improvement.
Students will be in control of when to speak and will be able to ask the AI for help directly rather than having to rely on visual cues external to the conversation. Additionally, there are features like pause and repeat to ensure they have enough time to think and respond confidently.
Conversation AI’s adaptive, responsive, and personalized approach creates a supportive environment that enhances engagement, understanding, and overall satisfaction with language learning.
