The tool, named AiBC, is designed to complement traditional teaching methods rather than replace teachers, offering learners a flexible way to improve fluency and confidence outside the classroom. <\/p>\n<p>Developed internally by the British Council\u2019s language experts, AiBC uses simulated real-life conversations instead of multiple-choice questions to create a more authentic speaking experience. Learners can repeat exercises at their own pace, with the system providing downloadable reports featuring personalized feedback on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. <\/p>\n<p>The organization said AiBC aims to provide a \u201csafe and judgment-free\u201d space for practice, helping students reinforce what they learn in class. Described as a \u201chuman-first\u201d approach, the platform keeps teachers central to the learning process while giving students additional speaking opportunities. <\/p>\n<p>The launch follows British Council research showing that nearly 80 percent of UK teachers have adapted their assignments due to AI\u2019s growing role in education. Operating in more than 100 countries, the British Council said AiBC reflects its goal of using technology to enhance \u2014 not automate \u2014 the English learning experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British Council Launches AI Tool to Help English Learners Practice Speaking &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.
