This practical 90-minute webinar to be presented by Joe Dale, explores how artificial intelligence can support the teaching of French through effective and classroom-ready workflows. Grounded in a Human-in-the-Loop approach, the session shows how teachers can use AI as a creative partner to generate lesson plans, culturally relevant stories, listening dialogues and pronunciation models while maintaining professional judgement and protecting student data.
Participants will see how tools such as Suno, Gemini Storybook, PDFGear, Luvvoice and Google AI Studio can be used to create engaging resources aligned with curriculum needs and immediately applicable in the French classroom.
Date Thursday 3 September
Time 5.00pm - 6.30pm
