How to Modify ESP Tasks along TBLT with the Assistance of AI

摘要

With the dominant role of Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning English, the teachers are supposed to do things differently in their own contexts. The researcher has applied AI in modifying the tasks in Business English to generate task ideas, create resources and design lessons along Task-based Language Teaching. Tasks are designed based on needs analysis and target tasks. At University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, 200 students who major in Business Studies at intermediate level participate in the research during 90 hours for two semesters. Data collected from the teacher observation and the questionnaire proves that the model of adaptation has brought many benefits to the students in terms of learning outcomes as well as positive emotions. The results show most of the students can achieve their goals in their studies and their future jobs. More importantly, the model can enhance the well-being of the students and the teachers.
