We believe in "Critical Optimism":

✅ We embrace innovation that saves time and sparks creativity.

❌ We reject "AI hype" that lacks pedagogical value.

The 3 Golden Rules of this Hub:

AI is the Co-Pilot, You are the Captain. Never let the machine steer the lesson. Use these tools to support your teaching goals, not to replace your expertise.

Trust, but Verify. Generative AI "hallucinates." It invents facts, quotes, and grammar rules. Always check the output before taking it to class.

🗺️ How to navigate this Padlet:

🤖 The Generalists: The big models (ChatGPT, Gemini...) and how to prompt them.

🛠️ The Specialists: Dedicated tools for teachers (Worksheets, Videos, Grading).

🪄 Prompt Library: Copy-paste magic for English lessons.

🧠 Brain Food: Methodology, ethics, and research to keep us grounded.

🎯 Goal: Check if that article from the BBC is actually suitable for your B1 students.

Prompt:

"Analyze the following text based on the CEFR framework for English learners.

1. Estimate the overall CEFR level (A1-C2).

2. Highlight 5 specific vocabulary words that might be too difficult for [INSERT LEVEL, e.g., B1] students and suggest simpler synonyms.

3. Identify any complex grammatical structures that might block understanding.

Text: [PASTE TEXT HERE]"

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Never trust the level blindly. AI tends to overestimate students (it thinks B2 is C1). Always manually check the vocabulary list it extracts.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Instantly and accurately determine the linguistic proficiency level of any English text. Our CEFR level checker provides a comprehensive, data-driven analysis

# data[].attributes.body
Prompt:

"Act as a [INSERT ROLE, e.g., grumpy shop assistant] at [INSERT LOCATION, e.g., a souvenir shop in London]. I am a student trying to [INSERT GOAL, e.g., return a broken mug]. Start the conversation with a relevant question. IMPORTANT: Wait for my response before writing your next line. Do not write the whole script at once. Keep your turns short (max 2 sentences)."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: The magic phrase is 'Wait for my response'. Without it, the AI will hallucinate the entire dialogue by itself. Use this for homework practice!

3. The CCQ Generator (Methodology Saver)

# data[].attributes.subject
3. The CCQ Generator (Methodology Saver)

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Create Concept Checking Questions to ensure students understand a new grammar point without asking "Do you understand?".

Prompt:

"I need to teach the grammar structure: [INSERT TOPIC, e.g., 'Used to' vs 'Be used to']. Create 3 Concept Checking Questions (CCQs) to verify students understand the meaning.

The questions must be simple (Yes/No or binary choice).

Do NOT use the target grammar structure in the questions.

Include the correct answers."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Asking "Do you understand?" is useless. CCQs are the only way to know if they actually got it. Let AI do the hard logic work for you.

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Teach vocabulary through storytelling, not isolated lists.

Prompt:

"Write a short, engaging story (max 150 words) suitable for [INSERT LEVEL, e.g., A2] students. You MUST include the following vocabulary words naturally in the text: [INSERT WORDS, e.g., pollution, recycle, bottle, waste]. Bold the target words in the story. After the story, create 3 reading comprehension questions."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Brains remember stories, not dictionaries. Use this to introduce a new topic or to revise words from the previous lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Get a quiet class to start talking using provocative statements.

Prompt:

"I am teaching a lesson on the topic of [INSERT TOPIC, e.g., Artificial Intelligence]. Generate 5 controversial or provocative statements (not questions) about this topic suitable for [INSERT LEVEL] teenagers. The statements should encourage strong 'Agree' or 'Disagree' opinions to spark a debate."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Statements work better than questions. "AI will steal your job" (Statement) creates more friction and discussion than "Will AI steal jobs?" (Question).

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Grade a student's text quickly but empathetically.

Prompt:

"Act as an encouraging EFL teacher. I will paste a student's short essay below. Please provide feedback using the 'Sandwich' method:

1. Positive: What did they do well?

2. Constructive: Point out 2 major recurring errors (grammar/vocab) and explain how to fix them.

3. Closing: A motivating sentence.

Student Text: [PASTE TEXT HERE]"

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Don't let AI rewrite the whole essay. The student won't learn anything. This prompt forces the AI to focus on specific, actionable improvements.

7. The Distractor Generator (Test Creation)

# data[].attributes.subject
7. The Distractor Generator (Test Creation)

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Writing good multiple-choice options (A, B, C, D) is exhausting. The wrong answers ("distractors") need to look correct but be wrong.

Prompt:

"I am creating a multiple-choice quiz for [INSERT LEVEL, e.g., B1] students. Create a question testing the word/concept: [INSERT WORD, e.g., 'Make' vs 'Do']. Provide 1 correct answer and 3 'distractors' (incorrect answers). Important: The distractors must be plausible common mistakes, not obvious nonsense. Explain why each distractor is wrong."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Writing good bad answers is harder than writing good good answers. This prompt saves your brainpower for the actual teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Create a text full of mistakes for students to fix (proofreading practice).

Prompt:

"Write a short paragraph (approx. 80 words) about [INSERT TOPIC, e.g., My daily routine]. Deliberately include exactly [INSERT NUMBER, e.g., 6] grammatical errors specific to [INSERT PROBLEM AREA, e.g., Present Simple 3rd person 's' and prepositions of time]. Keep the rest of the text correct. Below the text, provide an answer key list of the errors."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Students love correcting 'the teacher'. It’s much more engaging than filling in gaps. Just make sure YOU have the answer key (which AI provides).

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Fun pronunciation practice focusing on specific problem sounds (minimal pairs).

Prompt:

"I have students who struggle distinguishing between the sounds [INSERT SOUNDS, e.g., /v/ and /w/ OR 'th' and 's'].

1. Create a list of 5 minimal pairs (words that differ only by this sound).

2. Create a funny, difficult tongue twister sentence that uses these words heavily.

3. Provide a 'phonetic breakdown' tip for how to shape the mouth for each sound."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: Phonology can be dry. Tongue twisters make it a game. Great for a 5-minute warm-up at the start of the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 Goal: Teaching students the difference between "Texting a friend" and "Emailing a boss".

Prompt:

"Take the following informal sentence: [INSERT SENTENCE, e.g., 'Sorry I'm late, bus was super slow, lol.']

1. Rewrite it to be Very Formal (suitable for a business email).

2. Rewrite it to be Neutral (suitable for a colleague).

3. Rewrite it to be Gen Z Slang (exaggerated). Explain the key vocabulary changes in each version."

💡 Andrej's Pro Tip: This is brilliant for showing that 'correct' English depends on context. The 'Gen Z' version usually makes teenagers laugh (and cringe).

As the 2030 deadline draws nearer, there is a clear demand to take comprehensive stock of the progress achieved since the start of SDG 4. In this context, following a recommendation of the independent external evaluation of the GEM Report, its Advisory Board has recommended bringing education statistics to the forefront and introducing changes to the next three report cycles in the form of a Countdown to 2030 series .

The first report in the series will look at four indicators:

1. Early childhood participation (SDG global indicator 4.2.2):

2. Out-of-school rate (SDG thematic indicator 4.1.4

3. Completion rate (SDG global indicator 4.1.2

4. Tertiary education gross enrolment ratio (SDG thematic indicator 4.3.2):

Equity measures will be examined as part of the country case studies. In addition, some countries will also be selected directly based on analysis of progress in inequality measures.

For each one of the indicators and for a broad set of equity measures, five countries of fast progress and two countries of stagnation will be analysed - a total of 35 countries - to provide a representative set of examples. The aim is not to pick the 'best' performing countries in the world but a regionally balanced set of countries that moved fast, given their initial conditions and contexts.

💡 Why read it: A crucial ethics warning. This study proves that "AI Detectors" (like Turnitin or GPTZero) have huge false-positive rates for non-native speakers. Why? Because EFL students write simpler, predictable English—which looks like AI to the detector.

Teacher's Takeaway: STOP using AI detectors on your students. You are likely accusing innocent students just because their grammar is simple. Focus on the process, not the detector.

Generative AI and Second Language Writing

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This article provides a critical synthesis and analysis of the research on the application of generative AI (GenAI) in second language (L2) writing. It conceptualizes GenAI literacy, synthesizes the research on written feedback, establishes a framework for prompt engineering, critiques the research examining the validity of GenAI ratings in writing assessment, and summarizes empirical evidence on the differences between GenAI and human writing. Specifically, the following findings and arguments are presented and discussed. GenAI literacy consists of four components pertaining to users’ competence and knowledge of GenAI basics, effective use, output evaluation, and ethics. The research on written feedback shows that teacher feedback focuses more on content, while GenAI feedback focuses more on organization. This research also suggests a need for criteria-based feedback and feedback evaluation. Prompt engineering is discussed along three dimensions: input, task, and output, followed by snapshots of prompts used in feedback research. The studies on writing assessment reveal that GenAI ratings are more consistent with human ratings when GenAI is trained using a large number of scored essays and when the rating criteria are well-defined. Comparisons of GenAI and human writing demonstrate that GenAI writing is more formal, academic, and impersonal, while human writing is more personal, creative, and linguistically accessible. This article concludes by making sense of the research findings, identifying future directions, and proposing three principles that may guide the research, practice, and theory construction for GenAI: individualization, domain-specificity, and writer agency.

Abstract

We introduce and study the concept of a "jagged technology frontier" to describe the uneven impact of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, where AI assistance improves performance for some tasks but worsens it for others, even within the same knowledge workflow and with a seemingly similar level of difficulty. In collaboration with the global management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group, we have developed realistic management consulting tasks and examined the human performance implications of using AI to perform complex and knowledge-intensive work. The preregistered experiment
involved 758 knowledge workers. After establishing a performance baseline on similar tasks, subjects were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: no AI access, GPT-4 AI access, or GPT-4 AI access with a prompt engineering overview. For each one of a set of 18 realistic knowledge tasks within the frontier of AI capabilities ranging from creative to analytical tasks, subjects using AI outperformed those not using AI, completing 12.2% more tasks and completing them 25.1% more quickly on average while also delivering solutions of significantly improved quality. However, for a complex managerial task selected to be outside the frontier, subjects using AI were 19% less likely to produce correct solutions compared with those without AI, pointing to potential limitations of AI supporting knowledge workers. We discuss the positive and negative implications of AI-aided human performance in knowledge-intensive tasks.

Abstract

This paper examines the transformative role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in education and their potential as learning tools, despite their inherent risks and limitations. The authors propose seven approaches for utilizing AI in classrooms: AI-tutor, AI-coach, AI-mentor, AI-teammate, AI-tool, AI-simulator, and AI-student, each with distinct pedagogical benefits and risks. Prompts are included for each of these approaches. The aim is to help students learn with and about AI, with practical strategies designed to mitigate risks such as complacency about the AI's output, errors, and biases. These strategies promote active oversight, critical assessment of AI outputs, and complementarity of AI's capabilities with the students' unique insights. By challenging students to remain the "human in the loop," the authors aim to enhance learning outcomes while ensuring that AI serves as a supportive tool rather than a replacement. The proposed framework offers a guide for educators navigating the integration of AI-assisted learning in classrooms.
