This English debate training program aimed to equip students from MAN 4 Jombang with basic knowledge of high-school-level English debate and to enhance their ability to articulate arguments. By integrating the AI ??tool ELSA Speak into the training process, students were able to practice independently. The program consisted of four face-to-face sessions, involving 18 students. The training stages included an introductory session, a pre-test, the training itself, the implementation of AI technology (ELSA Speak), and a phase for mentoring and evaluation (post-test). The results demonstrated an improvement in the students' understanding of English debate and their ability to deliver arguments; furthermore, the students participated actively throughout the training process.
