Two significant trends are shaping the world today: the increasingly tight-knit global community, where no country stands alone, and the digital revolution led by artificial intelligence (AI), unparalleled since the early 2000s.

To prepare children for the future, modern educational methods must adapt to these colossal movements. The new program at the Jerusalem Post Lite Talk School exemplifies this forward-thinking approach. Developed in collaboration with Dr. Liraz Margalit, an expert in consumer behavior and digital interactions, the school has created a unique learning method that enables children to acquire vital skills in English and AI.

The innovative curriculum at the Jerusalem Post Lite Talk School merges personalized English lessons with exposure to AI technologies, enhancing learning experiences, promoting critical thinking, and fostering cognitive and social development. In addition to English, students are introduced to AI, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They learn relevant vocabulary and engage with AI tools, advancing their creative and original thinking while adapting quickly to new innovations and teaching methods.

Engaging with AI technology is essential for children's intellectual growth, encompassing logical thinking, pattern recognition, and decision-making. These skills are crucial not only in technology but across all life domains, supporting holistic and healthy development in the digital age.

According to research conducted by the Jerusalem Post Lite Talk School, children today recognize the importance of mastering English and future skills. As most educational systems have yet to adapt their curricula and teaching methods for the younger generation, the Jerusalem Post Lite Talk School has taken the initiative to create an innovative course combining the acquisition of English and AI skills, which are likely to dominate the future.

Keith Blecher, the director behind the course development, states: "At the Jerusalem Post Lite Talk School, we identified the need for children to learn in a way that combines experience and playfulness while challenging them with content they've never encountered. We created colorful AI characters to accompany the lessons, helping children connect and learn through engaging experiences. These characters ease the learning process, increasing students' interest and curiosity."

The young generation, with its eyes on a future filled with technology and globalization, needs tools to face upcoming challenges and opportunities. The Jerusalem Post Lite Talk School's new curriculum, combining English learning and AI technologies, provides exactly that. This approach encourages experiential and profound learning, develops essential skills, and prepares children for a rapidly changing world. Recognizing the need to integrate advanced technologies in education underscores that the future of teaching lies in innovation and creativity, making the program at the Jerusalem Post Lite Talk School a groundbreaking model for modern education.
