AI-Enhanced Storytelling to Recontextualize Descriptive Grammar Teaching

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in teaching descriptive grammar represents a notable advancement in educational practices, particularly considering multiple intelligences. This study aims to document the personal experiences of teacher-trainees enrolled in the “English Language Teacher Training Course” offered by the Continuing Education Unit at the Arab Open University in Kuwait. It also aims to investigate any statistical differences between developing storytelling skills using a pictorial card game and AI tools in light of MI theory. The teacher-trainees were asked to design a story from a given set of cards and to design digital stories using AI tools to develop descriptive grammar teaching contexts, in view of the MI theory. The developed pictorial stories and AI-enhanced digital stories were evaluated based on the storytelling elements, use of multimedia, content novelty, ethical values, and MI accommodation. The researcher used four instrumental tools to collect data. The data collected from these tools were statistically analyzed and discussed.
