Dexway presents an update for all its language courses/levels: new AI avatars for artificial intelligence lessons. AI Masterclasses, one-to-one conversation classes, and AI role-play simulations now feature revamped avatars that are much more realistic and expressive.
AI applied to oral interaction (conversation practice) opens up new possibilities for students to practice naturally, above all, with total freedom (in terms of schedules and without pressure). What’s more, this can be done in realistic contexts and without the need for native teachers.
The aim of this update is to reinforce the feeling of authentic and immersive conversation, allowing students to practice without limits in a more natural environment closer to a real interaction.
A more natural interaction with artificial intelligence
In digital learning environments, visual elements play a key role in the perception of realism and in student motivation. The new avatars incorporated into Dexway’s AI lessons feature more natural expressions, greater facial expressiveness, and a more approachable presence, facilitating smoother interaction during the tasks presented in each AI activity.
This type of improvement isn’t limited to a cosmetic update. A more realistic conversation environment helps students become more engaged in oral practice, which is fundamental to language learning. The more immersive the experience, the better the results. When interaction feels more human, students tend to participate more naturally, repeat exercises, and explore different linguistic responses without the pressure that sometimes accompanies a real conversation.
Present in leading AI learning experiences
The avatar update applies to different types of lessons within Dexway courses that incorporate artificial intelligence:
Masterclasses with artificial intelligence
Dexway’s AI Masterclasses combine explanatory content with direct interaction with artificial intelligence. In these sessions, students can listen to explanations, answer questions, and practice language structures in a guided environment.
The improved avatars enhance the feeling of interacting with a real person, making the experience more dynamic and engaging.
One-to-one individual conversations
One-to-one AI conversation classes allow for individual practice without time constraints. Students can hold conversations, repeat their turns, and try different responses until they feel comfortable using the language.
The greater naturalness of the new avatars contributes to making these interactions feel closer.
AI Role-playing simulations
Role-play simulations recreate common language use situations: professional contexts, social interactions, or everyday scenarios.
In these exercises, the student must react and respond according to the given context. The visual and expressive enhancements to the avatars help reinforce the feeling of a realistic scenario, facilitating a more immersive practice experience.
Pedagogical benefits of a more realistic interaction
Improvements in visual interaction within digital learning environments have a direct impact on the student experience and the effectiveness of practice. Among the most notable benefits are:
#1 Greater language immersion
A visually more realistic interlocutor makes it easier for the student to concentrate on the conversation and feel more involved in the exercise.
#2 Better contextual understanding
Expressions and gestures help to better interpret communicative situations, reinforcing the overall understanding of the dialogue.
#3 Greater motivation to practice
More natural interaction environments encourage participation and repeated use of conversational activities.
#4 Practice without pressure
Artificial intelligence allows you to rehearse responses, repeat interventions, and improve pronunciation without the pressure that sometimes comes with a conversation with other people.
An upgrade automatically available to all customers
The update is automatic and already appears in all Dexway courses that include this type of artificial intelligence lesson.
This means that educational institutions, language schools, and organizations using Dexway courses don’t need to take any further action to benefit from this improvement. The new avatars are already integrated into the corresponding activities within the courses that include these AI-powered learning experiences.
In this way, the update improves the student experience while maintaining the pedagogical structure and the usual functioning of the courses intact.
If you don’t see this improvement in your courses, ask Support what the correct settings are to make them appear, replacing the current ones.
