Our QSL Projects

The QSL project “Digital Conversation and Communication Tasks in English Language Teaching: AI-Supported Simulations and Inclusive Practice Formats” ( Digital Conversation and Communication Tasks in English Language Teaching: AI-supported simulations and inclusive practice formats) was carried out by Dr. Daria Gluhareva and Prof. Dr. Tanja Angelovska between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. The project was supported by student assistant Marthe Schwerdtfeger.

The project focused on developing digital materials for the training of future English teachers. Its aim was to explore how AI-supported conversation simulations and digital speaking tasks can be used to promote oral communication skills, inclusive teaching practices, and critical digital competence in English teacher education.

Over the course of the project, the team developed and curated a range of materials designed to support both teachers and learners in working with AI-based tools for English language teaching. These materials focused particularly on speaking and oral communication, while also addressing broader questions regarding the responsible, reflective, and pedagogically meaningful use of AI in the classroom.

The following materials were developed as part of the QSL project and are available for download. Together, these resources contribute to the development of English teacher education at the University of Kassel by linking current developments in artificial intelligence with key issues in foreign language pedagogy. In particular, the project highlights how AI can be used not as a substitute for classroom interaction, but as a tool for creating additional opportunities for practice, reflection, and inclusive participation.
