 AI-INTEGRATION

How can AI support digital rehearsal?
AI can help learners practice, get feedback, and reflect while rehearsing independently or with peers.

👉🏾 AI-guided practice
Example: “Ask AI to give me five practice questions on past tense verbs in English, then check my answers against my notes.”

👉🏾 AI feedback on rehearsal
Example: “Submit my short essay to AI and get suggestions on sentence structure and vocabulary usage.”

👉🏾 Peer discussion with AI support
Example: “Compare my AI-generated summary of a science topic with my classmate’s summary and discuss differences using AI prompts.”
