Oh no! Not another podcast about AI and how we might all be out of a job!

Well, yes and no. This is a podcast about AI and how latest innovations mean that test takers can now practise anywhere and get reliable feedback at the click of a button. And yes, the AI test bots are getting better and better.

But no - it's not all doom and gloom!

We look at our sponsor MTS' new platform that enables IELTS test takers to practise with lifelike speaking avatars and get instant bandscore feedback. We also take a little look at the technology behind the platform and celebrate how this makes practise accessible to so many.

As to why this doesn't spell the end - well, this blurb wasn't written by AI (or was it...)

Did you know that the average English Language Teacher asks 300 questions per day and on average, we give our students 1.6 seconds to answer?

That's a LOT of questions and not a lot of time to respond.

It's also not particularly Special Educational Needs (SEN) friendly. So what can we do to make sure our classrooms, whether in person or online, are more accessible? How can we ensure our resources serve as wide an audience as possible?

We talk to Laura Broadbent who shares her expertise and tips on this important matter.

If your school would like Laura's expertise and help, you can contact her directly lblaurabroadbent@gmail.com
