Personalized and Context-relevant English lessons with AI (Pace AI) to Advance Adult Learning in Workforce Opportunities

The project team will develop new AI component to be integrated into the PACE AI program, including AI that tailors exercises to students at different levels, a portal for educators to upload content, an intake survey to gather key information on EL proficiency, and a user-interface that presents students personalized content from different sources. At the end of Phase I, the project team will conduct a pilot study with 10 educators and 30 adult EL students over a period of 2 weeks. They will examine the if the prototype functions as proposed, if students can successfully navigate the content that is presented in the user-interface, if educators can integrate the prototype into existing practices, and if students feel engaged and perceive that the final product would improve language acquisition.
