Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

- The students are going to watch a video on: How AI Could Save (Not Destroy) Education | Sal Khan | TED. The listening task is a Ted talk from the CEO of Khan Academy. (It is available as a Ted lesson created by Yousra Ferchichi) - Ask students whether they know what is KA and elicit meaning until they know that it is a non-profit educational organization. - SS will answer the questions according to the order of difficulty and depth. - Students don't have to watch the whole video (the max duration is 5 mins) - The teacher displays the answers and discusses different points of view. Reflection questions: Listening for gist: Will AI undermine human skills in education? How Sal Khan sees in AI an empowering tool to students and educators?
