AI Language Coach - Feedback on a B1 student retelling a story about the Maxwell Wildlife Park

I've made another video about how the AI Language Coach, which is still changing almost every day, could have provided valuable feedback for a student who made a recording about the Maxwell Wildlife Park. Sadly, the feedback is 10 years too late for her, but I think she would have benefitted from it, or at least the first seven steps.

The video is 13 minutes long and shows many of the 9 steps the AI Language Coach was asked to go through.

Step 1 - identifying the errors (not shown)

Step 2 - correcting the errors

              It is often useful and necessary to ask, "Can you explain these errors?"

Step 3 - reading and listening the corrected transcript Read Aloud

Step 4 - ways to make the transcript more colloquial (not shown)

Step 5 - reading and listening to a more colloquial version Read Aloud

Step 6 - ways to make the transcript 1/2 a CEFR level higher (not shown)

Step 7 - reading and listening to a more sophisticated version

Step 8 - ways to make the transcript another CEFR level higher (not shown)

Step 9 - reading and listening to an even more sophisticated version 

            - Asking for help with vocabulary during any of the nine steps (overarching)

            - Interacting with the AI Language Coach (I particularly like ...)

At the end I emphasise that, "It is only fair to say that this video has been edited to remove long pauses before the Read Aloud begins"
