ABSTRACT
Traditionally, feedback is regarded as crucial in the context of learning
and teaching public speaking. In the current course, we analyzed the
feedback provided to students by an artificial intelligence (AI) coach
and students’ learning experiences in developing public-speaking
skills via this tool. The MySpeaker Rhetorich speech coach
application served as a platform for practicing public speaking
within the course. Students found AI-powered feedback to be
advantageous and less biased than feedback from their peers.
However, although the AI coach offers benefits, it is not without
challenges, and currently, solely relying on it as a teaching tool
appears inadequate.
Course: Voluntary AI-powered public-speaking course.
Objectives: Participants are able to prepare and deliver a speech and
gain basic knowledge and understanding about speech composition
and delivery. Participants learn to assess their public-speaking skills
by receiving feedback from AI and peers and apply their knowledge
on public speaking by providing feedback to others.
