| Details | The focus of the first case study was on improving 21st-century learning skills for developing intercultural awareness of Japanese undergraduates. The participants were 23 Aoyama Gakuin University (AGU) students who studied English over an eight-month period with the assistance of AI smart speakers and documented their experiences using their smartphones. Students delivered presentations of their impressions of the BL-training program, with the results indicating the training had a positive effect on improving their English and intercultural communication skills. Pretest and posttest TOEIC scores were used to assess the overall effectiveness of the BL-learning program in both case studies. TOEIC score gains indicated the BL program incorporating the AI speakers improved the students’ overall English skills. Moreover, a post-training survey revealed students were impressed with the AI speakers to improve English skills. |
