Problem
ESL teachers often struggle to adapt static educational content to suit the diverse proficiency levels within their classrooms, leading to inefficient lesson planning and a less engaging learning experience for multilingual students. Traditional methods lack personalized, real-time feedback mechanisms, hindering students' progress and making it difficult to track individual performance effectively.
Solution
Pace AI offers an AI-powered platform designed to transform static ESL content into personalized learning experiences tailored to individual student proficiency levels. The platform enables teachers to customize content from OER materials, news articles, or their own resources, creating targeted practice exercises for multi-level learners. Students receive real-time feedback on pronunciation and grammar, while teachers can monitor progress and time-on-task through automatically updated student portfolios. By providing an AI assistant for teachers, Pace AI automates exercise creation and grading, freeing up valuable time for more direct student interaction.
