[00:00:00.300]Coming up on "AI in the Classroom",
[00:00:02.460]we are teaching about world language with Suno.
[00:00:05.298](energetic music)
[00:00:10.397]Hi I'm Chrystal Liu,
[00:00:11.730]I'm the World Language Specialist
[00:00:13.350]at Nebraska Department of Education.
[00:00:16.110]And I'm Williams, a grad student at UNL.
[00:00:18.993]Okay today we'll check out
[00:00:20.520]how to use Suno to teach word language.
[00:00:24.360]We love music and our kids love music as well,
[00:00:27.600]so a lot of times when we want to use music in classroom,
[00:00:31.680]we cannot find the right music
[00:00:34.170]and right song at the right level.
[00:00:36.540]Here we can use Suno.
[00:00:38.340]First, Williams, what kind of music do you like?
[00:00:42.840]I like gospel music.
[00:00:46.993]Yeah gospel. Create gossip.
[00:00:51.000]Gospel.
[00:00:52.763]Gospel. G-O-S, yeah.
[00:00:56.010]Song, what do you want it to be about?
[00:01:01.290]We have to be really specific about the prompt
[00:01:04.140]so think about a topic you want to learn.
[00:01:06.270]For example, how to greet people.
[00:01:08.097]Yeah. You know how to ask-
[00:01:09.748]Okay not- Directions, okay.
[00:01:11.460]How to do shopping in a supermarket, shopping.
[00:01:16.320]About shopping in a supermarket, okay.
[00:01:25.230]Do we want it to be English or Spanish,
[00:01:27.420]or other language?
[00:01:28.920]English. In English.
[00:01:32.280]By the way, Suno creates songs in different languages
[00:01:37.590]and different levels.
[00:01:38.760]And what do you want the level to be?
[00:01:41.580]The beginner level. At the-
[00:01:42.450]Let's do at beginner level.
[00:01:44.670]Beginning. Beginner.
[00:01:47.376]At the beginner level. (keyboard typing)
[00:01:54.060]Okay let's see what Suno can create for us.
[00:01:59.730]The magic is happening.
[00:02:02.670]You know the cool part is,
[00:02:04.290]on Suno you get five songs free each day
[00:02:08.250]and each song has two versions.
[00:02:11.190]That's enough for me as a world language teacher.
[00:02:13.800]Okay let's see.

[00:03:00.270]Yeah so it did a good job and I can see most of the things
[00:03:03.510]that I would need to buy from the shop.
[00:03:06.240]I can see bread and milk and-
[00:03:08.130]Yes. Oh other things
[00:03:09.300]but it's in a gospel way, I love it.
[00:03:12.690]Yeah and also you teach,
[00:03:14.379]if you use this to teach like vocabulary
[00:03:17.340]and you know, it is great for students.
[00:03:20.010]Okay I want to show you
[00:03:22.020]that we can actually edit the lyrics, that's pretty cool,
[00:03:26.370]A lot of times, you know,
[00:03:27.570]I want this word instead of that word
[00:03:29.280]because my students are on this level.
[00:03:31.410]Sometimes AI cannot...
[00:03:33.270]Yes it can identify the like the major levels
[00:03:38.010]but not the new ones.
[00:03:39.570]So we can for example,
[00:03:40.860]we can change a more complicated word,
[00:03:42.750]to our like less complicated word, easy word.
[00:03:46.320]Yeah a lot of, you know...
[00:03:49.110]Also some teachers use Suno in a different way.
[00:03:54.090]I have a teacher created a very cool song and she...
[00:04:00.180]Her students struggle with para and por.
[00:04:04.920]Por and para that's the...
[00:04:07.350]You know the Spanish confusing grammar, right?
[00:04:09.890]Okay.
[00:04:10.723]So we went to see that
[00:04:12.090]and you know she purposefully choose the song
[00:04:17.340]to be in English so that students can understand.
[00:04:20.850]In the song a lot of examples were provided,
[00:04:23.640]so after singing the song, her students can actually-
[00:04:27.726]Play the music, I see.
[00:04:29.235]Yeah play the music and we can see,
[00:04:30.700]and also they learn how to use it.

[00:05:13.064](chillstep music)
[00:05:15.960]And also if you want to use it in classroom,
[00:05:18.240]you can we can copy the song link
[00:05:22.440]and you can share it wherever you want.
[00:05:24.990]And also the three dots
[00:05:26.310]actually give you the option to download.
[00:05:30.180]And also you can copy your lyrics.
[00:05:32.490]If you change the lyrics, the song is changed.
[00:05:34.710]I mean, how the singer is singing, is changed.
[00:05:38.910]Also I have teachers ask,
[00:05:41.910]can I get a female voice instead of male voice?
[00:05:45.840]Of course, in the prompt you can ask.
[00:05:49.080]My suggestion is, you know, we have to be really careful
[00:05:52.440]because it's AI, you have to be specific
[00:05:58.260]about what you want them to do.
[00:06:01.050]First the language, and the level, and also the topic.
[00:06:07.050]And also you want to...
[00:06:09.570]If you want specific vocabulary,
[00:06:13.440]you might need to pay the...
[00:06:16.380]You know, the paid version.
[00:06:17.760]Yeah. Yeah and then you get
[00:06:19.800]exactly the vocabulary you want in their song.
[00:06:22.800]They sounded good. Yeah.
[00:06:25.080]That is the thing with AI tools, you need to...
[00:06:28.410]They'll just give you the free version
[00:06:29.970]and give you some limitations so that you come back
[00:06:33.180]and pay for the correct output, yeah.
[00:06:38.557]Yeah it creates...
[00:06:40.590]We didn't show a song actually created in other language
[00:06:43.860]here is one created in Chinese.
[00:06:46.350]So it creates in very common languages
[00:06:49.620]in I mean, Spanish, German, French.
[00:06:53.010]Hope this helps you to use Suno to engage your students.
[00:06:57.480]And we will see you next time on "AI in the Classroom".
