This article explores the use of generative AI to create personalized Italian listening activities. Specifically, it examines integrating large language models like ChatGPT with text-to-speech technology to generate customized Italian dialogues, comprehension questions, and audio files. As Gayed et al. and Godwin-Jones have shown, AI writing assistants significantly improve learners' language abilities. AI audio generation technologies allow control over speech speed, accent, and complexity to target different proficiency levels. Thus, AI tools can provide Italian listening practice with diverse, authenticsounding voices. This contribution shows how AI can be leveraged to create customized listening activities in Italian that match individual learners' needs and goals, engage students, enrich their learning experience, and advance their Italian language proficiency. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Annali d'Italianistica is the property of Annali d'Italianistica, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
