A short review of using AI transcription for presentation feedback

YUEN, Ka-Ming

This idea of using AI transcription was originated by Kasina, who has been using the transcript from Zoom for giving feedback on speaking.

If we aren't on Zoom, we can get the transcript by uploading the video to YouTube or Word:

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.

 

I use a template to give feedback:

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.
The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.

Now I don't need to transcribe any part of the presentation to give specific feedback. It's much easier to highlight those parts in a transcript. If you don't mind watching the video after the presentation in class, you may try and see if this works for you.

A case study of the foreign cultures represented in two English language textbooks used by Hong Kong secondary schools was conducted. Its aim was to investigate whether the representation of foreign cultures in these textbooks reflected the status of English as an international language. In order to do this, references to foreign cultures were categorized into four aspects: products, practices, perspectives, and persons. It was found overall that the representation favoured the cultures of English-speaking countries, while the cultures of Africa were under-represented. The selection of English language textbooks and the implications for redressing the imbalance in cultural content are discussed.
