As AI tools become increasingly integrated into professional environments, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) education must evolve to prepare learners not only for language demands but also for critical thinking in tech-driven contexts. This webinar explores how AI-powered tools can be effectively used to promote critical thinking in the ESP classroom across disciplines such as business, law, and maritime studies.

Participants will discover practical strategies to incorporate AI platforms—such as chatbots, language models, and intelligent writing assistants—into lesson plans that encourage analysis, evaluation, and problem-solving. The session will also showcase how AI can simulate real-world scenarios, personalize learning, and provide immediate feedback that deepens engagement and critical reflection.

By the end of the session, educators will be equipped with concrete ideas and digital tools to create learner-centered, thought-provoking ESP environments that align with the demands of 21st-century communication.

For the 10th consecutive year, Wrocław hosted the regional round of the Public Speaking Contest organized by IATEFL Poland, and this year’s event offered thoughtful reflections and personal stories.
