Developing intelligent assistance for educators.
Measuring cognitive, pedagogical, and social outcomes.
The IA4ZEP program has already produced concrete pedagogical resources for the 6th‑grade French curriculum:
These materials will serve as the primary corpus for the empirical pilot phase (WP2) of the MSCA project, demonstrating that the approach is already grounded in real classroom practice.
IA4ZEP is currently developing a digital reading companion to support guided reading in 6th‑grade French classes. The application will be piloted during the 2026‑2027 school year.
It integrates state‑of‑the‑art speech recognition and natural language processing to evaluate pronunciation and comprehension, providing immediate, adaptive feedback to learners. The tool is designed to follow the official 5‑step guided reading methodology, ensuring alignment with the national curriculum.
This initiative is a direct, field‑based application of the Cognitive Trapeze Model.
IA_4_ZEP produces ready-to-use methodological briefs for teachers, operationalizing the Cognitive Trapeze Model in concrete classroom activities.

IA_4_ZEP produces AI-generated comics to support guided reading in ZEP classrooms. Each comic visualizes an African folk tale aligned with the national curriculum, and is projected in class to support comprehension and engagement.
