Stay ahead with AI: Why teachers must embrace technology in the classroom? We present a resource pack that equips English language teachers with a complete toolkit for integrating AI-based activities into classroom teaching and ongoing professional development.
As AI reshapes education, teachers face a pivotal moment—embrace innovation or risk being left behind while students surge ahead with edTech tools. At PRODIREKT and Verbalists Education & Language Network, we have always been at the forefront of advancing education, particularly in developing countries where access to innovation has transformative potential. Now, we’re helping teachers bridge the gap by offering a free, game-changing resource.
Nik Peachey, an expert in education and training, created AI Resources and Activities for English Language Teachers. This resource book, commissioned by the British Council, gives English language teachers easy-to-use tools to include AI-based activities in their classroom lessons and professional development. The 43 innovative activities featured across ten key areas align with the British Council’s CPD Framework for teachers, ensuring seamless integration of AI into broader professional development plans.
But why should teachers embrace AI now? Students are already using AI tools like chatbots and content generators. The risk of teachers falling behind isn’t just professional—it’s pedagogical. Educators need to guide students in navigating these tools responsibly, ensuring AI is used for growth, not shortcuts.
This resource doesn’t stop at activities. It provides ethical principles and actionable tips for safe AI use, offering guidance on crafting effective prompts and managing risks, such as misinformation or over-reliance on AI-generated content. It’s a roadmap for responsible, impactful AI adoption in the classroom.
At Verbalists, we believe in empowering educators globally, particularly in developing countries where access to cutting-edge resources can make a world of difference. We invite you to download this free resource and visit our Languages Blog for more innovative tools, insights, and strategies to transform your teaching practice.
Don’t let your students get too far ahead. Let this guide be your first step in harnessing the power of AI and shaping the future of education.
