Creating spaces where the classical, the digital and the newest coexist peacefully

It is possible to adapt advanced texts by making them easier for elementary level students to read and understand them.

AI can help learn songs by generating lyrics, suggesting melodies, providing feedback on singing, and creating personalized practice exercises.

2025-07-23 15:47:55 UTC

It's a very useful tool, if used carefully. It can be included to practise conversation, to improve pronunciation, to develop fluency and confidence in speaking.

For conversational practice 💬

Let AI create discussion topics or questions related to the topics being tackled in class

Using it for interactive dialogs listening to different pronunciations

2025-07-23 15:50:04 UTC

To tell students to use it as a tool, as a source and not to copy and paste essays and different kinds of writings.

2025-07-23 15:50:06 UTC

Collaboratively.

For pronunciation

As real input.

To have fun.

To learn about the past and to foster their imagination.

To predict the future.

To interview people they admire

2025-07-23 15:50:08 UTC

To create different types of activities, to make real-life conversations with different chat bots. Also, to have students check things that are not fully clear. To have students embark on oral and written exchanges with the AI. We can also give some room for students to interact with a chat that has the same level of English. We, as teachers, can use it to plan our lessons and exams. (Betina Gonzalez y Gabriel Rodriguez)

you can simplify difficult texts to make them more accessible for elementary students

2025-07-23 15:50:41 UTC

Yes. It could be used in the English classroom, mainly with teens and adults. You can ask them to improve and correct their pieces of writing.

You can also ask them to role play and interact with a character or a famous person (both written and oral)

2025-07-23 15:50:49 UTC

We should adapt it to our lesson plans as a science project, especially with teens.

And think about games like scape rooms, Kahoot... Anything can be useful in our teacher's eyes.

The more we learn, the better will teach.

2025-07-23 15:50:51 UTC

I think a good way to integrante AI into English classes is to create dynamic activities that children get to be part of. For example, uploading their drawing into the AI and that drawing comes to life.

2025-07-23 15:50:59 UTC

It can be used to create stories, to adapt texts to the students' level or to make worksheets, among many other things.

2025-07-23 15:51:49 UTC

As teachers, we can use it as a tool to suggest creative activities and prompts for discussions that are tailored to the specific courses and levels that we are teaching. This can save time and provide interesting and fruitful questions/activities that we hadn't thought about.

However, I think we should be careful about suggesting our students to use AI, since it's easy to get carried away and have AI do all of the work for them. This can have a detrimental effect on their critical thinking skills and learning process.

I know AI is here to stay and I ve been doing research about it

We can incorporate AI to our classes by adding superhero pictures when studying house chores, or by adding texts with mistakes to the corrected by students or when we need to adopt one text for students with different levels of English. We can also use it to plan our classes and to use triggering questions when introducing a new topic to be discussed in class.

2025-07-23 15:52:05 UTC

AI tools can be used in a purposeful, practical, and enjoyable way. The point of using AI lies in the versatility it offers students to discover a wide repertoire of resources to perform more precisely and efficiently. From guided, featured writing and proofreading online engines to video processing, photo editing, and note taking tools specially designed to cater for different needs.

2025-07-23 15:53:07 UTC

I think AI is here to stay so the faster we adopt it, the more we can impact our students in a positive way.

We can use it to improve speaking, learning vocabulary and also analyzing how much they can learn on their own with the AI's aid.

Giving students creative activities to work on the 4 skills, supervising their work.

2025-07-23 15:53:18 UTC

We can use AI to practice role-plays with an invented character or real person. Another use could be to create photos or pictures for kids to describe

2025-07-23 15:54:42 UTC

I'd use it for creative activities, e.g. look up the Instagram posts of a famous person you like (e.g.Taylor Swift). Then, ask AI to create some posts for Instagram for a famous person who lived before social media existed and is now dead (e.g. Freddy Mercury). What do you think this person's Instagram would have looked like? What would he/she have shared? Students can compare the real Instagram with the one created by AI and then use this as a model to create posts on their own about someone else. (Loli)

Another interesting article that raises concerns

^{I liked the idea of using AI in speaking/listening tasks as a conversation practice activity.}

^{It's use in writing activities is a bit limited. Perhaps it could be used to foster critical thinking and examine the response provided by AI.}

^{It is clear that assessing students in compositions is quickly becoming outdated because AI hinders accurate assessment.}

^{The possibilities of accesssing information at a word and image level provides opportunities for students to delve into topics that they may previously have been unaware of.}

2025-07-23 15:55:54 UTC

We can include different AI tools into the English classroom that can help students with many activities, for example, writing stories, characterisation, contextualisation, roleplays, writing lyrics. But we have to be careful and teach students to use these tools in a deeper way in which they can reflect about what they have created.

2025-07-23 15:56:17 UTC

To create short stories adapted to topics and the level of the students. To make songs to illustrate a point and others.

2025-07-23 15:58:16 UTC

It could be used to generate specific content, especially designed to adapt to students needs and interests. Students can interact with famous people dead or alive, explore different types of texts addressed to different audiences, transform text into poems, short plays, etc. Students could work collaboratively evaluating what the AI offers and deciding if the agree or disagree with what the AI generates, promoting critical thinking. Teachers' guidance is essential.

2025-07-23 15:58:36 UTC

I'd use it for oral practice in class and ask students to speak with it in English at home too so they keep practicing conversation and improve pronunciation and fluency.

It'd be fun also to interview real or imaginary people to practice conversation.

2025-07-23 16:00:48 UTC

We could ask students to have AI create different pieces of writing (with different levels, formats, styles) and then have them compare the similarities and differences in register, style, vocabulary, etc.

2025-07-23 16:03:52 UTC

This tool can totally be used in the English classroom providing that it is used responsibly. I have always approved of AI since the very beginning, and I strongly believe we can take advantage of it by teaching our students how to use it as a complement. Nevertheless, it is we, teachers, who need to study, analyse and understand how this tool works first. Only by doing this, will we be able to debunk all the myths and cope with what most of us think is a menace to teaching. AI will stay and be the companion of both teachers and students, and we need to know in what ways we can make the most of it.
