CONCLUSION AND KEY LEARNINGS:

 

How will the knowledge gained from this module influence your teaching

methods?

       From the AI module, I learned that integrating AI into English language teaching can significantly enhance lesson planning, personalization, and efficiency. The capacity to produce personalized practice materials, improve lesson preparation, and offer focused vocabulary exercises are among the most important lessons learned. AI tools can also facilitate continuous improvement of instructional content, making lessons more adaptive and engaging.

 

       Practically, these insights will influence my teaching methods by encouraging me to use AI for designing and refining lesson plans, creating personalized learning experiences, and generating relevant educational materials. I'll use AI to better adapt to each student's particular needs and preferences so that my classes are interesting and productive. This approach will not only improve the efficiency of lesson development but also foster a more responsive and dynamic learning environment. Ultimately, the knowledge gained will help me enhance my teaching practices and better support my students' language learning journey.

Can you think of a specific lesson or activity where you could apply what

you’ve learned?

       One particular class where I would put what I've learned to use is a financial terminology vocabulary-building exercise. I can use AI to make a lesson plan with customized quick reads and dialogues that incorporate important financial concepts that are related to my course material.

       For instance, I might design a scenario-based activity where students use AI-generated dialogues to practice negotiating a budget or discussing financial reports. The AI can help generate diverse practice materials that adapt to students’ proficiency levels, providing personalized exercises and feedback. By integrating these AI tools, the lesson becomes more engaging and relevant, as students interact with real-world contexts while developing their vocabulary. Additionally, the AI can offer continuous assessment and refinement of the lesson content based on student performance, ensuring that the learning experience is both effective and dynamic.
