Google is piloting a new AI-powered tool called "Speaking Practice" to aid English language learning.
This initiative targets users in Argentina, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Venezuela for now, and is part of Google's Search Labs program for testing experimental features.
"Speaking Practice" focuses on real-world conversation scenarios.
Through AI, it generates interactive exercises where users respond to spoken prompts using specific vocabulary.
For example, an AI prompt like "What should I do?" might necessitate a response that includes words like "exercise," "tired," or "heart."
This builds upon a prior Google language-learning tool launched last year, which offered feedback on grammar and clarity for constructed sentences. "Speaking Practice" introduces a conversational element, fostering a more dynamic learning experience.
While currently in development, "Speaking Practice" holds promise as a valuable resource for global English learners.
Its interactive exercises and feedback mechanism aim to make language acquisition more engaging and efficient.
Google's vast technological resources and expertise in AI position "Speaking Practice" to potentially revolutionise language education.
