[00:00:00.570]Coming up on AI in the Classroom,
[00:00:02.610]we are going to create chatbots to teach world languages.
[00:00:06.579](upbeat music)
[00:00:11.580]Hi, my name is Williams, and I'm here with...
[00:00:15.201]I'm Chrystal Liu.
[00:00:16.440]I'm the world language specialist
[00:00:18.090]at Nebraska Department of Education.
[00:00:21.210]So I have here opened ChatGPT,
[00:00:24.090]and I'm going to prompt it so many times
[00:00:25.920]to get a chatbot that will enable us
[00:00:28.980]to help our students to learn a language,
[00:00:31.770]Chinese Mandarin and French language.
[00:00:35.970]So we are going to see how ChatGPT
[00:00:38.954]will be able to create a chatbot for us
[00:00:41.520]to teach Chinese and French language.
[00:00:46.410]Yes, so it will take a few time,
[00:00:49.200]and it will start thinking through the process.
[00:00:54.064]And let's wait for it for some few minutes.
[00:00:57.600]Okay, I have a question.
[00:00:58.921]Okay.
[00:00:59.913]So a chatbot can actually teach two languages?
[00:01:02.940]Yeah, multiple. Oh, okay.
[00:01:05.213]Yes, the chatbot can.
[00:01:06.990]With this AI, ChatGPT kind have so many languages,
[00:01:12.150]but it is limited.
[00:01:13.740]It will just be functional for some of the languages.
[00:01:18.300]My understanding is students can actually choose
[00:01:21.690]the language they want to learn with the chatbot, right?
[00:01:24.916]Yes. Oh, okay.
[00:01:27.270]Yes. That's very interesting.
[00:01:28.710]Can they try choose the level?
[00:01:31.410]Yes, they can choose a level as a dropdown window.
[00:01:34.830]So from here, we can see that,
[00:01:36.850]generate a complete WhatsApp Twilio or, okay,
[00:01:40.620]so we want this chatbot to be displayed in a web browser
[00:01:45.420]so that any computer or any phone
[00:01:47.400]will be able to open the chatbot.
[00:01:49.230]So I will prompt ChatGPT to do that for us.
[00:01:52.590]Actually, you can see the coding.
[00:01:53.970]Yes.
[00:01:54.990]In what language?
[00:01:55.823]We have three modes of communication, like interpersonal,
[00:01:59.119]interpretive, and presentational.
[00:02:03.240]Is this chatbot able to, you know,
[00:02:06.972]integrate all the three modes of communication
[00:02:10.920]in the training, in the teaching practice?
[00:02:13.920]Yes, yes, yes, it can do that,
[00:02:15.600]and it all depends on you, how you prompt it,
[00:02:19.272]what you need it.
[00:02:21.270]Okay, so we can preview the results here,
[00:02:24.570]the output, how it looks like now.
[00:02:27.240]Oh, okay.
[00:02:28.658]Okay.
[00:02:30.083]I wanna do Chinese.
[00:02:32.264]Okay.
[00:02:35.940]Beginning, okay.
[00:02:38.024]So there's a beginner.
[00:02:39.190]Okay, listen,
[00:02:40.170]so is there a way that we can listen?
[00:02:46.298](chatbot speaking in Mandarin)
[00:02:50.820]Okay, so now it seems we cannot hear anything.
[00:02:55.800]It's asking us to listen.
[00:02:57.840]I don't know if you can read this.
[00:02:59.913]Yes, this is good.
[00:03:01.718](speaking in Mandarin) is hello in Chinese, yes.
[00:03:03.047]Hello, okay.
[00:03:04.290]Yeah, I just don't know how we can listen.
[00:03:06.935]Should we should prompt again?
[00:03:09.148]Yes, I think we should prompt again because the chatbot,
[00:03:12.420]you have to prompt it several times to get the chatbot.
[00:03:15.530]So I'm going to tell it that from the output
[00:03:19.170]that the preview,
[00:03:20.460]we cannot chat with this chatbot.
[00:03:23.310]There's no input text box for us, so.
[00:03:30.170]So here we can copy this code
[00:03:32.850]and run it.
[00:03:34.350]Let me copy it.
[00:03:36.960]Copied,
[00:03:38.700]open notepad.
[00:03:41.400]And that this notepad can be used to create web pages.
[00:03:45.180]Oh, notepad, okay.
[00:03:47.778]Yes, yes.
[00:03:48.772]Is there, is it a app?
[00:03:51.403]Yes, an app, just like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint,
[00:03:55.080]but specifically it can help you with creation of webpages.
[00:04:00.120]Okay. So I piece the code here
[00:04:03.990]and save it.
[00:04:07.818]Index
[00:04:08.850]dot html,
[00:04:11.760]and I will have a place to save it.
[00:04:14.160]Let's say I have to,
[00:04:18.810]now our chatbot is ready,
[00:04:21.360]and you can choose.
[00:04:22.770]So language, Mandarin,
[00:04:25.170]English, or French, or Chinese.
[00:04:27.480]You choose Chinese.
[00:04:28.590]Okay, we open it from a browser, right, okay.
[00:04:31.083]Yes, now this is in a browser,
[00:04:32.490]and you can add it to your web,
[00:04:34.860]you can host it on any website.
[00:04:36.840]If you have a website, you can host it.
[00:04:39.120]And so we are done here,
[00:04:41.910]and you can begin to prompt it.
[00:04:44.100]So you click on the microphone,
[00:04:45.630]or you can type to search for information, okay.
[00:04:50.198]Okay.
[00:04:51.197](Chrystal speaking in Mandarin)
[00:04:52.650]So it responded, hello.
[00:04:55.590]A lot of times as a student,
[00:04:57.690]you know, we can respond.
[00:04:59.370]We might not be able to, I mean, as a student,
[00:05:02.190]we might not able to start conversation or ask questions.
[00:05:06.090]It's more like at the very beginning of language learning,
[00:05:08.730]we are asked, we are prompted as a, you know, a student.
[00:05:13.650]Yeah, so it depends.
[00:05:14.670]You can just go back to the prompt and say that, okay,
[00:05:17.672]the chatbot should be asking the questions
[00:05:20.700]and the student will be responding,
[00:05:23.310]or the student should be rather
[00:05:24.990]asking the chatbot the questions,
[00:05:27.570]and the chatbot will be giving the response.
[00:05:30.600]It's more like, I want AI to asking,
[00:05:35.460]to engage my students in conversations.
[00:05:39.030]Okay.
[00:05:41.760]Maybe can we change the language
[00:05:44.809]as a, I mean, to Arabic, or it's too late?
[00:05:47.490]Okay, it's not too late.
[00:05:48.600]We can just say, okay, add Arabic language.
[00:05:52.680]Okay, add Arabic language.
[00:05:54.690]Arabic language,
[00:05:57.996]and change...
[00:06:02.430]And engage students in short conversations.
[00:06:08.430]Yeah, so actually it's saying
[00:06:10.755]that now it's a multilingual language learning chatbot.
[00:06:12.680]So we have multiple languages here.
[00:06:14.790]We already have Chinese, and we have French,
[00:06:18.120]and we have added Arabic.
[00:06:19.710]And so it's now updating and...
[00:06:24.226]Hmm.
[00:06:25.473]Then it seems now what language teachers have a,
[00:06:28.721]like private coding?
[00:06:31.533]Yes, yes. Coding assistance.
[00:06:32.570]We call it vibe coding.
[00:06:33.712]It's called vibe coding.
[00:06:35.478]Okay.
[00:06:36.690]Yes, so after it is done.
[00:06:39.480]Okay, so now after that, it'll tell you what is new,
[00:06:42.390]the updates that it has made,
[00:06:44.130]Arabic lessons with vocabulary and basic conversation.
[00:06:47.010]Type or speak your answer, both guide you and feedback,
[00:06:50.940]and okay, let me prompt it to add
[00:06:54.718]a voice so that the student can hear the both talking.
[00:07:04.047]Can have real conversations.
[00:07:05.670]Yes, real conversations.
[00:07:07.056]Okay, yeah, that's great.
[00:07:08.250]Okay, I have a question, you know.
[00:07:10.020]We have like beginner and intermediate level,
[00:07:12.960]and advanced level.
[00:07:14.070]So how is that,
[00:07:17.245]and what criteria, you know,
[00:07:18.990]in what language we have like active proficiency guideline
[00:07:22.560]which defines the levels?
[00:07:24.480]How was these levels defined?
[00:07:26.880]Are these aligned with actual proficiency levels?
[00:07:29.820]Yeah, for now, it's general, it's generic,
[00:07:33.450]and you specify that, okay, I need different levels,
[00:07:38.280]beginner, intermediate, and different levels.
[00:07:41.070]And you give this...
[00:07:42.418]Aligned to, oh, okay.
[00:07:43.652]Yes, aligned to.
[00:07:44.652]You can even copy, if you have a textbook
[00:07:45.870]or a resource material, you can copy those information,
[00:07:49.590]and prompt it with it, and it will,
[00:07:53.880]the chatbot will be based on the information you provided.
[00:07:57.473]Sure.
[00:07:58.306]And so let's run it again and see this here.
[00:08:01.078]Okay.
[00:08:02.550]We open it and browse it again, right, okay.
[00:08:05.455]French, let's do your...
[00:08:07.257]Oh, Arabic is added.
[00:08:09.133]Arabic has been added.
[00:08:09.966]Okay, so you know Arabic, right?
[00:08:12.513]So let's try and type something.
[00:08:16.969](Williams speaking in Mandarin)
[00:08:21.390]That's Chinese, oh!
[00:08:23.858](chatbot speaking in Arabic)
[00:08:24.837]Oh, that's great.
[00:08:26.730]So I can actually, it translate from Chinese to Arabic,
[00:08:32.820]and teaching us how to pronounce it.
[00:08:35.160]This is pretty cool!
[00:08:36.510]Wow, yeah.
[00:08:38.277]So now you can also speak back if you need.
[00:08:41.149]With allow.
[00:08:43.137]How do you say thank you?
[00:08:45.827](Chrystal speaking in Mandarin)
[00:08:48.828]How do you say thank you?
[00:08:50.750]It does not okay with me.
[00:08:52.943]Yes, so it wants thank you in Arabic.
[00:08:55.500]Yes, so today we kind of learned how to create chatbots
[00:09:01.410]to teach our students how to learn a language,
[00:09:04.710]world language.
[00:09:05.880]And we learned about chatbots,
[00:09:08.790]and we used ChatGPT to do all our coding.
[00:09:13.290]And we had an interesting time conversing with the chatbot.
[00:09:17.157]And so we'll see you another time.
