Practicing Reflective Teaching with AI-powered App: Experiences from ESL/EFL Educators
ESL teachers play a crucial role in facilitating students’ English language acquisition. The effectiveness of their instruction directly influences students’ language learning outcomes. Constructive feedback is essential for teachers to continuously refine their teaching methods, leading to increased student engagement and comprehension. In recent years, AI-powered applications have demonstrated promise in delivering automated feedback across various domains, including education. This research study investigates the potential benefits of integrating such technology into ESL teaching practices.
