At the B2 CEFR level, learners understand complex texts, both concrete and abstract, and engage in fluent and spontaneous interactions with native speakers. They can produce detailed texts, presenting viewpoints on a wide range of subjects and considering different options.
Are you struggling to choose the right AI tool for effective use in the classroom, without spending countless hours signing up, and registering, only to realize they don’t meet your needs?
This course has been developed to equip language teachers with the knowledge to effectively integrate AI tools into their everyday work.
It will enable them to choose and utilize AI tools that streamline administrative tasks, allowing for more time to make their lesson ideas come true. Furthermore, participants will learn how to utilize AI tools to enhance students’ language skills, foster creativity, and develop critical thinking competencies.
Throughout the course, participants will learn how to provide clear prompts to AI tools to develop curriculums, lesson plans, and exams together with formative and summative assessment documents.
AI tools can be used to develop original and differentiated materials, which will help teachers personalize their teaching and give students the support to realize their full potential regardless of their language level.
By the end of the course, participants will have taken part in engaging and practical tasks and activities that will allow them to understand fully the benefits of AI for both teachers and students.
This will empower them to bring their own ideas to live according to their individual working environment.
