Solution: Using AI to Create a Listening Passage
"Generate a listening passage with a script of about 1:30 mn of B2 English level about a custmer complaining to the travel agent about his ruined holiday includind a section where the customer asks for a refund "
I was almost satisfied with the generated answer and I asked the AI to:
"propose a concrete refund offer in the last utterance of the travel agent"
This initial AI assistance helped ensure the conversation had authentic language features, like realistic phrasings and expressions, making it suitable for listening practice.
Once I had the individual audio clips for each character, the next step was to combine them smoothly into a single, cohesive listening track. I used Adobe Podcast, an AI-powered tool that allowed me to upload and merge the audio clips effortlessly. Adobe Podcast helped me to ensure that the audio flowed naturally, with consistent volume levels and clear sound quality. The tool also enabled me to adjust the pacing of the conversation, ensuring that the dialogue didn’t feel rushed or too slow. This step was essential for making the listening experience seamless and professional, so students could focus on the content without being distracted by technical issues.
Outcome: A polished, downloadable , continuous audio track ready for video integration.
