Abstract
Developing English speaking skills can be challenging for many English language learners. The advent of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has prompted the emergence of a growing number of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots designed to tackle these challenges. One popular tool is ‘Call Annie,’ a GAI video chatbot that can act as a virtual assistant, enabling users to engage in immersive video calls with AI avatars. This technology review discusses its functionality, how it can be used in supporting learners’ language development, how teachers can collaborate with it in class and its potential limitations.
对于许多英语学习者来说，提高英语口语技能是一项挑战。生成式人工智能（GAI）的出现促使越来越多的人工智能（AI）聊天机器人出现，旨在应对这些挑战。打电话给安妮 "就是其中一个受欢迎的工具，它是一个 GAI 视频聊天机器人，可以充当虚拟助理，让用户与人工智能化身进行身临其境的视频通话。本技术评论将讨论它的功能、如何用于支持学习者的语言发展、教师如何在课堂上与它合作以及它的潜在局限性。
期刊介绍：
The RELC Journal is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on language education. The aim of this Journal is to present information and ideas on theories, research, methods and materials related to language learning and teaching. Within this framework the Journal welcomes contributions in such areas of current enquiry as first and second language learning and teaching, language and culture, discourse analysis, language planning, language testing, multilingual education, stylistics, translation and information technology. The RELC Journal, therefore, is concerned with linguistics applied to education and contributions that have in mind the common professional concerns of both the practitioner and the researcher.
