Duolingo is the world's most popular learning and educational app with ten of millions of subscribers who do a combined 1 billion(!) exercises a day. Duolingo offers roughly 100 language-learning courses and users complete lessons on reading, writing, listening, speaking, and more.

The app exemplifies AI-driven gamified learning. Users earn points, win prizes, and compete for higher levels. Its AI system, Birdbrain, gauges exercise difficulty and user proficiency. Using learner feedback, Birdbrain selects exercises for subsequent lessons, striking a balance between challenging and motivating users.

In August 2023, Duolingo launched "Duolingo Max," integrating special AI features into select courses and devices. Leveraging OpenAI's GPT-4, it offers a tailored and effective language-learning experience. Two standout features are "Explain My Answer" and "Roleplay." The former provides AI-generated clarifications, aiding users who make recurring mistakes. Meanwhile, "Roleplay" lets users practice conversations with AI-driven in-app characters, enhancing real-world conversational skills.

Price: Free with ads; Pro account (no ads) $65/year; Max account $14/month.

URL: https://duolingo.com/

I've enjoyed using Duolingo over the years and often laugh out loud as I read its hilarious short stories (my favorite Duolingo activity). I was drawn to Duolingo back in 2015 by its intuitive design and colorful interface, but came to appreciate how Duolingo could move my learning along; I found the exercises neither too difficult, nor too easy. I instantly liked the combination of listening, reading, writing, and speaking exercises and that I could complete a lesson in under 10 minutes.

And Duolingo has kept me engaged and motivated with constant upgrades and new features. My Colombian wife and I use Duolingo religiously; she practices her English every night while I practice my Spanish. We both understand that language learning should take many different forms, but Duolingo has proven to be an engaging and motivating way to ensure we practice regularly.

ChatGPT offers personalized language instruction tailored to students' unique needs, interests, and proficiency levels. As a result, students can utilize ChatGPT as a reliable language practice partner. Not only does ChatGPT assist in expanding a student's vocabulary by offering synonyms, elucidating word meanings, and recommending contextually appropriate word choices, but it can also craft stories incorporating specific vocabulary lists. Engaging in conversations with ChatGPT allows students to hone their writing and speaking abilities, all while receiving constructive feedback on their language application. Additionally, ChatGPT excels in grammar and syntax assistance, offering sentence revisions and detailed explanations of grammatical rules.

The interactive nature of ChatGPT makes language learning more engaging and less intimidating for beginners. Its 24/7 availability ensures that students can practice at any time, providing flexibility that traditional classroom settings might not offer. Moreover, the instant feedback feature of ChatGPT allows learners to immediately correct their mistakes, reinforcing proper language usage and accelerating the learning process.

Pricing: Free for version 3.5; Version 4.0 = $20/month

URL: https://chat.openai.com

ChatGPT is an excellent language partner. It can provide explanations and feedback in multiple ways, adapting to different learning styles, and enabling differentiated instruction.

But constructing effective ChatGPT prompts can be tricky. Whether using ChatGPT with students or on their own, you should think about what context might be necessary to ensure that the responses are appropriate for the level and abilities of your students. And your instructions should be explicit and precise. I recently tried to construct a language practice session with ChatGPT to improve my use of the Spanish subjunctive, but I had to reconstruct my prompt three times before ChatGPT would perform the way I wanted it to.

TalkPal is an AI language tutor powered by GPT technology, allowing users to engage in conversations on a variety of topics in both written and spoken forms. The platform provides unlimited access to a broad spectrum of intriguing subjects, enabling users to learn through writing or speaking, complemented by messages in a lifelike voice.

The platform's features are crafted to not only make language learning enjoyable but also to immerse learners in realistic scenarios. Catering to learners of English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian, TalkPal aids in enhancing listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. It employs authentic-sounding voices to make conversations feel genuine and incorporates role-playing to assist in grammar acquisition. Key features of TalkPal AI include real-time feedback, pronunciation adjustments, grammar corrections, vocabulary enhancement, and conversational practice.

Price: Free up to 15 minutes a day; $4.99/month for unlimited usage

TalkPal is intuitive, engaging and a great method for conversational practice. I like the vast amount of topics available to chat about and the immediate, personalized feedback TalkPal provides.

We've all heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. And when we are communicating with each other, pictures do help add depth and meaning to our words. They help our audience better grasp the message and retain it longer. Granted, in order for images to be effective, we need to be sure to pick images that are relevant and support the message. Also, representation matters, and using images that reflect your audience's demographics and characteristics helps your audience better relate to your message. Before we explore a few tools to help you generate images that are tailored to your message, let's review a few pitfalls that we want to avoid.

Common Mistakes When Using Images

If we aren't intentional or thoughtful, we can actually undermine our message and lessen the impact that it has on our audience. This is also true for students who haven't been taught how to carefully choose images and how to avoid common mistakes in the process. Here are a few common mistakes to be aware of when you are selecting (or generating) images to use.

Using irrelevant images: Using images that are not relevant to your message can be confusing and distract from your message.

Using low-quality images: Using low-quality, blurry, or pixelated images can make your communication look unprofessional and may detract from your message.

Using images that are too large or too small: Using images that are not appropriately sized for the medium you are using can make them difficult to see and may not have the desired impact.

Overusing images: While images can be a powerful tool in communication, it's important not to overuse them. Too many images can be overwhelming and may distract from your message.

Relying too heavily on images: Images should be used to support and enhance your message, not to replace it. Make sure you are still conveying your message clearly through text or other means, and not relying solely on images to communicate.

How to Find Images

Before we begin generating images, let's see if those images already exist and are available. If they are, then we can save time, energy and effort. Here are a few blog posts that you may find useful as you search for images to use.

If you still weren't able to find the perfect image, then let's consider having AI generate the images for us.

While it seems that there is a growing list of AI tools that generate images, let's narrow it down to ones that are good for us to use and good (appropriate) for students to use. Remember that the quality of your image is going to be heavily influenced by the words you use to describe the image in your prompt. Identifying a style for your image can also help create images that are better suited for your audience.

AI Tools for Generating Images for Teachers

These tools may be free or freemium and require a login. For these two reasons, they are not suited for students to use but may be a perfect fit for teachers who are looking to AI to generate images.

If you have a Canva for Education account, you are able to use the Text to Image app. Write a description of the image you want, choose the style, then let Canva do the rest. Canva will create four images to choose from. If you do not like any of the images, consider tweaking the prompt you used and trying again. Be sure to add the images to a project (even if you don't plan to use them right now) so that you can access them in the future. Once you regenerate images or close out the tool, any unused images are no longer available.

Create an account with this freemium generative art tool and begin producing amazing images. To stay within the free portion of the tool, you will want to redeem the five daily credits made available to you. Choose the style, give a brief description, and begin generating. Each set of four images will cost you one credit. You can view previous creations in the My Creations section.

This tool is very similar to Starry.ai though you have more options in regard to trained AI models and styles. Each set of four images will cost you one credit unless you use the SDXL Beta (which I'm very impressed with) which costs three credits. You can view previous creations in the My Creations section.

Another powerful but easy-to-learn generative art tool! Creating a free account will give you 100 credits each month to use when creating images. With more than 25 trained models you may find that there are too many choices that impact the style of your image. Generating four images at a time will cost you four credits.

AI Tools for Generating Images for Students

These generative tools are free and do not require a login, making them a more suitable choice for students to use. As students create amazing images, be sure to ask them to cite the tool used to generate the image as well as the prompt they use. This will help you and other students replicate the quality images though for different projects.

Craiyon (no, that is not misspelled) is a pretty impressive tool. Enter your description and choose one of four styles. You are able to identify negative words which is Craiyon's way of avoiding certain items in your image (such as people, the sun, etc.). Give it about a minute and it will generate nine images for you!

Though you can create an account, it isn't necessary to use this tool. You can click on the Examples button to generate one of the six presets, or you can enter your description, choose the model from the dropdown, and generate an image. Only one image is created each time.

Generate amazing cover images and wallpapers with this free tool. If you aren't sure what to create, then click on one of the green sample prompts and then click the pink Generate Cover button. After generating the image a popup screen will appear with the option to download the image.

Using Images in Projects

If you are having students create projects in which they are allowed to use generative art tools, consider having students cite their work by:

identifying the name of the tool they used

including their prompt

noting the style they used to generate the image

This will allow you and your students to replicate similar images and learn from each other as you look to improve communication by providing relevant and impactful images.

So, how will you be using images to support your message? Do you have a repository site such as Pixabay that you use or are you already making use of generative art tools to provide custom images? Drop a note in the comments section and let us know.
