practising your english speaking with chatgpt

Whilst integrating IT into teaching, learning, and assessment will require careful consideration, we will be using AI more an more in language acquisition.

For example, there has been a lot of research into the use of Chat GPT in teaching/learning/working with English. And on a practical level, we can ask AI if they can give me a lesson plan!

Finally, whilst language is indeed a human thing, we are increasingly able to have pretty good 'conversations' with AI bots.

As the AI Overview on Google suggests:

To interact with ChatGPT, you can type your prompts into the text box or use the voice conversation featureOn the mobile app, you can find the microphone icon to speak your prompts. On the web version, you can enable voice conversations in the settings and use the microphone icon or voice mode button to talk to ChatGPT. 
Here's a breakdown of how to talk to ChatGPT:
1. Using Voice on the Mobile App:
  • Open the ChatGPT app and locate the message box. 
  • Look for the headphone-shaped icon or the voice waveform icon on the right side of the text box. 
  • Tap the icon to activate voice input and choose your preferred voice from the available options. 
  • Start speaking your prompts, and the app will automatically detect the end of your sentences. 
  • To end the conversation, you can tap the circular button with a cross in the middle of the screen. 
2. Using Voice on the Web:
  • Go to ChatGPT.com. 
  • If it's your first time using advanced voice, you may need to grant browser permission to access your microphone. 
  • Locate the voice icon on the bottom-right of the screen and click on it. 
  • Choose your preferred voice and begin speaking your prompts. 
  • You can also use the microphone icon to enter your prompt using voice-to-text. 
3. Typing Prompts:
  • Regardless of whether you are using the app or the web version, you can always type your prompts into the message box. 
  • After typing your prompt, press enter or the send button to send it to ChatGPT. 
Key points to remember:
  • Speak clearly and concisely when using voice input. 
  • ChatGPT can handle ongoing conversations, so you can refer to previous prompts. 
  • You can refine your prompts by using follow-up questions or by providing additional context. 
  • Experiment with different prompts and approaches to find what works best for you.
