The Office of Bilingual ºÚÁϹÙÍø and World Languages (OBEWL) of the ºÚÁϹÙÍø (NYSED) presents this next webinar in the 2026 Professional Learning Series: Voices Across Time: Using AI to Amplify Presentational and Interpersonal Communication in Classical Language Classrooms.ÌýThis webinar is offered free of charge for world language educators and administrators working and studying in New York State educational institutions. 1 hour of CTLE credit is offered.

Webinar description: How can artificial intelligence help Latin and Ancient Greek students not just translate, but communicate meaningfully? In this webinar, the presenter will demonstrate how AI tools can support and enhance Presentational and Interpersonal Communication aligned to the NYS Learning Standards for Classical Languages. Participants will explore classroom-tested strategies using AI to help learners present ideas to describe, narrate, explain, and persuade, while also exchanging information, negotiating meaning, and expressing opinions in authentic communicative tasks. These approaches connect directly to performance indicators such as creating simple sentences, strings of sentences, and connected paragraphs. Practical classroom models include AI-powered dialogues, interactive storytelling, persona-based roleplay, cultural comparisons, and scaffolded interpretive-to-interpersonal tasks using authentic texts. Educators will leave with adaptable templates, AI-prompting strategies, and clear alignment to NYSED standards and themes for Classical Languages.ÌýThe concepts and techniques presented can be adapted and applied by teachers of modern languages as well.
