At METU University, students presented and defended their independent assignments on “My University” as part of the “Foreign Language” course, under the guidance of Beisegul Dina Talgatkyzy, an instructor in the Department of Social Sciences, Humanities and World Languages. Completed in accordance with the course syllabus, the assignment combined English communication practice with creative exploration and the use of artificial intelligence. Students shared their perspectives on university life through comics, visual materials and role-play performances. English-language dialogues and scenarios drawn from everyday student experiences provided opportunities to apply relevant vocabulary and express ideas clearly and coherently. During the presentations, participants explained their materials to the class, performed character roles and shared the results of their teamwork. The assignment therefore extended beyond preparing a written text to include speaking, listening and collaboration.

A distinctive feature was the combination of AI-assisted visual content with students’ own language and creative choices. This approach places importance on understanding the topic, using language appropriately and being able to explain the work presented. Using AI also entails responsibility for verifying information, carefully editing texts and maintaining academic integrity.

“My University” gave students an opportunity to describe their learning environment in English and express their views on university life. This format connects language learning with practical experience while supporting independent work and public speaking.
