This book has been designed to act as a practical resource that should help you to get a better understanding of the kinds of AI tools that are available and how to use them in the English language classroom. The book does this through a series of chapters focusing on tools for teachers, tools for students and a collection of background reading. All of the tools and reading texts in this book have tasks to accompany them that will help you orientate yourself to the materials and think more deeply and actively about how they can be used. These tasks have been adapted from the online course version of the book, in which participants can share opinions, reflections and materials with each other. I would encourage you to do the same even if you aren’t part of the course. Keep a journal and make notes as you work through the book and try the tasks. Find another colleague you can talk to about the tasks and the example plans Seek out opportunities to interact with and discuss what you are learning with other teachers and with your students. Use what you are learning to run formal or informal development sessions for other teachers. The book also includes a link to download a free copy of The Digital Toolbox. The Digital Toolbox is regularly updated, and should help to keep you up to date with new developments and apps that are becoming available. I hope you enjoy the book.

When I first started hearing and reading about ChatGPT and all the marvellous things it could do, I was very excited, but my first impressions weren’t that great. Good, but not great. I found it frustrating. I was reading articles about all the marvellous things it could do, but when I tried to get ChatGPT to do those things for me, the results were a bit disappointing. Perhaps you’ve had a similar experience. The reality is that in order to get the best from ChatGPT, you have to learn to understand a little bit about it, the way it thinks and the way it understands language. I soon found that the more I studied this, the better the results were and the more things it would do for me. What I’ll be sharing in this book are some of the ideas and insights I’ve developed from my time working with it. Along with the prompts and prompt templates, you can use to get the same or better results for your students. Contents Chapter 1 - An introduction to ChatGPT where we look at some of the basics such as parts of the interface, what they do and how ChatGPT works. Chapter 2 - We look at what ChatGPT can do to help us prepare engaging materials and how students can interact with ChatGPT. This section will focus on exploiting ChatGPT in the classroom and for homework activities. This includes example materials, ideas and lesson plans that you can try along with the prompts that I used to create the materials. Chapter 3 - We look at some of the ways you can learn more about teaching and ways that you can use ChatGPT to make your workload a little easier to deal with, especially lesson planning and language research. Chapter 4 - We look at a collection of tips for helping you construct prompts. Prompts enable you to get responses from ChatGPT and the better your prompt writing is the better the results you will get. Chapter 5 - We look at some examples of other AI tools that can be used alongside ChatGPT to do various tasks like creating images, audio and video, as well as creating quizzes, presentations and lesson plans. Chapter 6 - We look at some of the various different issues and controversies that ChatGPT raises. 256 pages
