Teaching English with AI

From Learner Needs
To Materials
& Learning Experiences

Presentation Summary

01

Learners, Not Tools

Teachers use AI to create materials and design learning experiences. But effective use starts with learners, learning objectives, and teaching context, not with choosing an AI tool.

02

A Directed Workflow

This session follows a practical pathway from identifying learner needs to deciding how AI can be used. Two purposes guide the process:

Create Teachers use AI to create, adapt, differentiate, or extend materials.
Integrate Teachers design activities in which learners interact directly with AI for a specific learning purpose.

Tools explored include ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Studio, and NoteLab English.

03

The Art of Prompting & Ethics

The session begins with The Art of Prompting, using Say What You See to explore how precisely we communicate what we want. Ethical considerations are built into the workflow: age, privacy, safeguarding, accuracy, bias, and learning integrity.

Final Message

"The goal is not simply to use AI in English teaching. It is to make deliberate decisions about how teachers and learners can use AI for meaningful language learning."
