A lesson plan carried out, including:

• Clear learning objectives and outcomes.

• A proper warm-up that motivates and engages students

• Activities and materials that support the communicative approach.

• Alignment between target students and activities and material.

• Proper integration and progression of activities.

• Methods for assessing student learning.

Each student chose a linguistica skill to become an expert, the skills were reading, listening, grammar and speaking. In this way, each expert made a presentation of the subject in which tips were given, activities were proposed and the concepts of each linguistic skill deepened.

This reflection analyzes how the General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) can transform the role of the teacher in education, especially that of the English teacher. Highlights the benefits of AGI in personalizing learning, providing immediate feedback and improving adaptive teaching, allowing teachers to move from being knowledge transmitters to learning facilitators. It is argued that the English teacher should take advantage of AGI to focus on human aspects such as communication, empathy and critical thinking, while technology supports technical and repetitive tasks. Finally, the importance of addressing ethical challenges and ensuring that inclusion of AGI complements, not replaces, teaching work is stressed.

Speaking: The Bridge Between Learning and Living

Teaching Speaking in the EFL Classroom

INTRODUCTION

What is Speaking?

Speaking is the productive skill that involves expressing ideas, feelings, and opinions using spoken language. It is interactive and often spontaneous.

IMPORTANCE

Speaking is a crucial skill in language acquisition because it allows learners to express their thoughts, emotions, and opinions clearly and confidently.

How to Teach Speaking - Stages

Pre-speaking

Prepare students for the speaking task

Introduce key vocabulary and expressions

Activate background knowledge Set the context (topic, situation, role)

Provide models (videos, dialogues, teacher example)

Role-play:

Debate

Information gap activity:

Dialogue practice:

While-speaking Stage

This is the heart of the speaking lesson. Students actively use the language to communicate, express ideas, and interact with others. At this stage, the goal is fluency, not perfection. Mistakes are welcome as part of the learning process!

Speaking doesn't end when the conversation stops - it's in reflection that real growth begins

Post-speaking

After the speaking task, it's essential to guide students in reflecting on their performance, reinforcing what they've learned, and extending the activity to deepen understanding and communication skills.

Reflection and Feedback

Highlight Key Language Points

Expand the Topic

Review important aspects of language used during the activity:

After the speaking activity, help students reflect on their performance.

Extend the speaking practice into other skills or deeper exploration.

Teaching Techniques

Role-Plays

Students have different pieces of information and must communicate to complete the task.

Information Gap Activities

Students have different pieces of information and must communicate to complete the task.

Debates

Encourage students to express opinions, agree/disagree, and think critically.

Shadowing

+ INFO

Students listen to a short audio clip and repeat exactly what they hear, mimicking pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.

Artificial intelligence that focuses on teaching users how to speak English. it implements many oral conversations, video calls, presentations. It will analyze and correct pronunciation, intonation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary.

ELSA SPEAK

What is it?Each student has part of the information and must ask questions to complete the task. How it works: Give each student a picture with small differences. They ask each other questions to find the differences without showing their images. Example questions: "Is the boy wearing a red shirt in your picture?" "Do you see a cat on the table?"

Connect the topic to students' experiences. Example: Ask warm-up questions like "Have you ever...?" or use pictures for brainstorming. Clarify what students will talk about and in what role. Example: "You are at a restaurant. One is the waiter, the other is the customer."

Why it's effective: Encourages natural conversation. Makes speaking fun and relatable. Reinforces vocabulary in context (body parts, health problems, giving advice).

ROLE - PLAY

Help students practice real-life vocabulary and expressions in a common everyday situation.

DEBATE What is it? Students express and defend opinions on a topic, developing argumentation and fluency. How it works: Divide the class into two sides. Choose a topic (e.g., "Are video games good for kids?") Give students time to prepare their ideas and key phrases. Example sentences: "I believe video games help children develop skills." "On the other hand, they can be addictive."

Speaking allows learners to actively use the language. It helps build confidence and fluency. Essential for real-world communication and professional development. Promotes interaction, cultural exchange, and personal expression.

Ask guiding questions like: What was easy? What was difficult? Provide positive, constructive feedback focused on meaning, not just accuracy. Use peer feedback to encourage collaboration.

Examples

How it works: Use a sample dialogue (e.g., "At a restaurant") Students read it together, then change names, foods, or places to personalize it. Example: "Waiter: What would you like to drink?" "Customer: I'd like some lemonade, please." -→ Then they create their own version.

DIALOGUE PRACTICEStudents practice a written conversation in pairs, then adapt it to make it their own.

Here you can find a wide range of practical resources to use in your primary classroom. There are full lesson plans to choose from, covering different topics and themes, all organised according to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR).

The article "Redefining the Teacher's Role in Education through Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)" explores the profound transformation AGI could bring to educational systems. One of its central points is the shift from traditional teaching roles to more dynamic and supportive roles enabled by AGI. The article emphasizes that AGI can personalize learning, offer real-time feedback, and support adaptive educational environments. These capabilities allow teachers to move beyond being mere transmitters of knowledge to becoming facilitators and mentors who focus on emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and creativity. The integration of AGI repositions teachers as central figures in guiding students through rich, individualized learning experiences, not by replacing human presence but by amplifying it.

From an English teacher’s perspective, AGI should not be seen as a threat but as an opportunity to redefine teaching practice. English teachers can use AGI tools to provide students with immediate grammar corrections, vocabulary enhancements, and pronunciation feedback, thereby supporting language acquisition more efficiently. This frees up the teacher’s time to concentrate on communicative competence, cultural context, and personalized feedback. Moreover, AGI can help teachers identify each student’s linguistic strengths and weaknesses through data analysis, allowing for differentiated instruction tailored to individual needs. Teachers would become curators of content, emotional supporters, and designers of collaborative, inclusive, and real-world language tasks that AGI cannot effectively replicate due to its lack of genuine human empathy and creativity.

Ultimately, the role of English teachers in the age of AGI should center on fostering global communication skills, cultural sensitivity, and critical thinking through language. AGI can serve as a powerful assistant, but it is the teacher who humanizes the learning process. Ethical considerations—such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and equitable access—must also be at the forefront to ensure AGI implementation enhances rather than replaces the human touch in education. By embracing innovation while maintaining pedagogical integrity, English teachers can redefine their roles as transformative agents in a rapidly evolving educational landscape.
