EdulingAI for Languages: Engineering and Pedagogical Design + Demo
from The Language Innovators Hosted by Linh Phung and Nikolas Wolfe
In this live session, Linh Phung and Nikolas Wolfe introduce the latest developments for Eduling, including the expansion of their mobile application into a web-based platform (app.eduling.ai) and the addition of multi-language support spanning 144 target language varieties. The discussion focuses on the intersection of task-based language teaching (TBLT) and speech technology. Nik explains the engineering behind low-latency bidirectional streaming, automatic speech recognition (ASR), and text-to-speech (TTS) integration. They demonstrate live interactive tasks in languages such as Spanish, Vietnamese, Twi, Frafra, and Ga, critically examining the current capabilities and limitations of large language models when handling low-resource, less commonly taught languages (LCTLs). Topics covered Introduction and Web App Launch Expanding to Multi-Language Support Technical Architecture of Spoken Language Interaction Vietnamese Task Demo Spanish Task Demo and TBLT Pedagogy Integrating Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs) Live Demonstrations in Twi and Ga Testing Low-Resource Challenges in Frafra Future Collaboration and Conclusion Eduling website: https://eduling.ai Web app: https://app.eduling.ai Email: [email protected]
