Stephen Richmond, Bukkyo University, and Bruno Vannieu. Alma Publishing In the age of AI, what can motivate our students to study English? It's not obvious, since all the tasks traditionally performed in language classes can now be done in seconds by AI, and students know it. We will show how we can still achieve this in a university communication course by putting students in a situation where they have a powerful human experience, where something obvious “happens.” The human experience in question is to carry out a simple, achievable, and satisfying communication project during each class. It's a bit like building a house each time: they acquire the materials, learn a specific technique, draw up the plans, and then build the house. What kind of project is possible at the beginning of the first year? It is to collaboratively create conversations in the target language during each class. We will show how to do this in practice, at the low-intermediate level (CEFR A2), in CALL classrooms or in standard classrooms.
