In addition, guided reading and directed study will be carried out so that students can prepare for classes, reinforce content, and develop autonomous learning strategies with the support of AI (for example, through linguistic correction tools which also provide feedback, personalized exercise generation, or conversation assistants). Likewise, online resources will be used alongside AI applications to complement face-to-face sessions and workshops, facilitating access to additional materials and immediate feedback.
