Online language learning has evolved significantly over the past two decades.
It began with simple digital quizzes and grammar exercises designed to test knowledge. Over time, learning platforms expanded to include video lessons, audio recordings, podcasts, and interactive activities that supported listening, reading, and vocabulary development.
These innovations improved access and flexibility, but speaking practice remained difficult to scale online. Live classes and tutors helped, but they were not always available when learners needed them most.
The latest stage in this evolution is AI-moderated speaking practice.
By using AI chatbots as speaking partners, learners can engage in structured conversations aligned to their level and learning goals. This approach combines the flexibility of online learning with the essential requirement of spoken interaction, creating a more complete and balanced language-learning experience.
