This seminar focuses on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help language teachers save time by streamlining the lesson management process and automating task creation. Participants will explore AI tools that reduce time spent on routine tasks such as lesson planning, materials preparation, assessment design, and classroom organization. By automating repetitive work, teachers can redirect their energy toward meaningful teaching, student interaction, and creative instruction. The seminar will provide practical demonstrations of time-saving platforms and share strategies for integrating them into everyday practice. Emphasis will be placed on how AI supports, rather than replaces, the teacher’s role—freeing up valuable time while maintaining high teaching quality and learner engagement.
