INTRODUCTION
CHATGPT IN THE
LANGUAGE CLASSROOM
Hello and welcome to ChatGPT in the Language Classroom.
Firstly, thank you for downloading this book. I hope that you learn
a lot from it, get some inspiration for new ideas and also that you
enjoy it.
When I rst started hearing and reading about ChatGPT and all
the marvellous things it could do I was very excited, but my rst
impressions weren’t that great. Good, but not great.
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 stud-
ied 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 in-
sights 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.

example materials, ideas and lesson plans that you can try along with the
prompts that I used to create the materials.
• In the third chapter, ChatGPT in the Staffroom, we’ll 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.
• In the fourth chapter, Prompt Engineering, we’ll 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.
• In chapter ve, AI tools, we’ll 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 and presentations with lesson plans.
• In chapter six we’ll be looking at some of the various different issues and
controversies that ChatGPT raises. Join our course and you’ll be able to
share your views with other teachers by getting involved in our ChatGPT
community group of Telegram.
This book has been designed to be a practical resource that should help you
to use ChatGPT in a very hands-on way to produce materials and learning op-
portunities for your students to develop your own skills and understanding of
language teaching and how to use ChatGPT to enhance your knowledge and
abilities.
The book has been designed in a logical way, but it’s not necessary to work
through every chapter and every activity in order. Feel free to dip into it where
you choose and to focus on the parts that interest you most.
Most of the chapters include example prompts and prompt templates. Be sure
to try these with ChatGPT and to see, evaluate and compare the results you
get with those in the book. Try to edit the prompt templates to suit your own
teaching context and see what results ChatGPT gives you. Try each prompt
more than once as you’ll soon see that ChatGPT can give different results each
time you submit a prompt.

Create your own prompt diary and store the prompts that work well for you
along with a note about the results you got and how you would like to use the
prompt.
Many of the sections of the book also include tasks at the end. These tasks
are suggestions to get you thinking about and using ChatGPT in your own
practice. Again, I would advise that you make notes or keep a task diary so
that you record your re ections and responses to the tasks.
I hope you enjoy the book, join the community of teachers sharing ideas and
resources and continue to learn more about ChatGPT and how to use it to im-
prove learning outcomes.

GETTING STARTED
In this chapter you’ll look at some of the technical
background to ChatGPT. This section isn’t com-
pulsory, but working through it won’t take too
much time and it will help you to better under-
stand how ChatGPT works and will help you do
some of the other parts of the course

WHAT IS
“ChatGPT is a large language model developed by Open AI,
based on the GPT - Generative Pre-trained Transformer - archi-
CHATGPT? tecture. It is designed to generate human-like responses to text-
based inputs, by using deep learning techniques, speci cally
unsupervised machine learning. Its training data includes a vast
amount of text from a wide variety of sources, such as books, art-
icles, and web pages, which allows it to generate responses on a
wide range of topics. It is capable, of understanding natural lan-
guage and generating contextually appropriate responses to
questions or statements, making it a useful tool for communica-
tion and research purposes.”
In some ways I feel like ChatGPT isn’t giving itself suf cient credit
as it’s much more than a tool for communication and research.
ChatGPT can act as a collaborator when producing factual and
creative work and can also act as a teacher, translator, advisor
and even as a friend.

What is ChatGPT? In some ways the text is also misleading, because describing one of its
primary roles as researcher may give the impression that everything
ChatGPT produces is factually correct, and this is not the case. One of
ChatGPT’s greatest strengths, in my opinion, is its ability to invent and
be creative, but this same ability is one of its greatest weaknesses
when it comes to research as it has the habit of inventing things like
sources, quotes and website links that don’t exist.

WHAT IS
“Machine learning is a eld of study that involves creating al-
gorithms and statistical models that allow computer systems to
MACHINE automatically improve their performance on a speci c task,
LEARNING? based on data inputs, without being explicitly programmed. In
machine learning, a computer system learns from examples or
experience, and it uses this knowledge to make decisions or
predictions. The learning process involves training the system
with a large amount of data, often referred to as a training data
set. This represents examples of the task, or problem, that the
system is trying to learn.

EXAMPLE LESSON 1
Procedure
• Tell your students they are going to chat with {famous person}.
• Ask them to work together in groups and think of {x} questions they
could ask the person.
• Regroup the students and get them to share and compare their ques-
tions with a new partner. Ask them to produce a list of {x} of the best
questions.
• Now open ChatGPT and add prompt 1.
• Tell the students they are going to interview the person by text.
• Show students the computer screen and elicit their questions.
• Type them in and then wait for the answers.
• Ask students to think of a follow-up question based on the answer
(This could be one to help them clarify understanding).
• When they have nished asking questions, ask the students to dis-
cuss/write a summary of what they have learned.
EXAMPLE LESSON 2
Preparation
• Decide which famous person/people you want the students to be,
then ask ChatGPT to create a list of questions for that person.
• Choose the best questions and edit the list for suitability. Try to have a
variety of factual questions that students can answer from research
and more opinion based ones which they may have to guess or infer.
Procedure
• Tell the students that you have some questions to ask a famous per-
son/people.
• Show them the questions and ask them to try to guess who the per-
son/people may be.
• Once they have guessed, ask them to research the person and try to
nd out what they think their answers might be.
32

[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Guest Speaker Q&A • When they have nished researching, ask them to share and com-
pare their answers in small groups.
• Lastly, put them into pairs and ask one student to be the interviewer
and the other to be the famous person.
• Ask them to role-play the interview.
EXAMPLE LESSON 3
Preparation
• Ask students to do some research on a famous person and see how
much they can nd out.
Procedure
• Ask the students how much they think they know about the person.
• Tell them they are going to have to pretend to be the person and try
to fool a computer.
• Use prompt 3 in ChatGPT.
• As GPT to asks questions.
• Get the answers from the students and type them in to GPT.
• Continue until you think the students have done enough.
• Put the students into pairs or small groups and ask them to try to re-
member the questions GPT asked and their answers.
Note: If you have a connected classroom, you can put students into
groups, with one student accessing GPT and typing in the answers.
Students could also do the activity at home or working alone on a
device.
Follow-up
• Ask the students to research the real answers to the questions and
nd out how many they got right.

It's great to get students doing plays together. They get the
chance to take on new characters, act out roles and give a much
wider range of expression to language that they might not usually
PLAYS & DRAMA use in the classroom. Finding plays that suit your students can
be dif cult, though.
Here are some of the reasons ChatGPT gives for using plays and
dram in the language classroom.
Using plays and drama in ESL (English as a Second Language)
teaching can provide a range of bene ts for language learners.
Here are some reasons why:
1. Improving Language Skills: Plays and drama provide an op-
portunity for learners to practice language skills in a meaningful
and authentic way. Through acting out scenes, students can
practice speaking, listening, and reading in English, as well as
develop their vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
2. Enhancing Creativity: Plays and drama provide a creative
outlet for learners to express themselves in English. They can
develop characters, create dialogue, and interpret scenes, which
can help them develop their imagination and creativity.
35
fi
fi
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Plays & Drama 3. Encouraging Critical Thinking: Plays and drama require learners to
analyse and interpret language in context, which can help them devel-
op their critical thinking skills. They may need to infer meaning from
dialogue, make connections between different parts of the play, and
evaluate the effectiveness of their performance.
4. Building Con dence: Performing in front of an audience can be a
daunting task, but it can also be a great con dence-builder. By prac-
tising and performing plays, students can develop their con dence in
using English in front of others.
5. Fostering Cultural Understanding: Plays and drama often involve
themes and situations that are culturally relevant. By engaging with
these themes and situations, learners can develop their understanding
of English-speaking cultures and societies.

Prompt 1 - This prompt will produce a play based on any topic. Differ-
ent groups of students could use this to create their own play based on
the topic of their choice.
Write a play about {topic}
Example: Write a play about ghosts.
37
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Plays & Drama Prompt 2 - This prompt produces a play based on an original story.
You can also de ne the number of characters you want to include. This
ensures that every student has a part.
Write a script based on a scene from {Name of book}. Include {num-
ber} characters.
38
fi
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Plays & Drama Prompt 3 - This prompt enables you to create a play on any topic in the
style of a speci c writer.
Write a play about {topic} in the style of {playwright}
39
fi
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Preparation
• Decide how many students you will have in each group and what the
play should be about.
• Create the play and make copies for each student.
• Create comprehension questions (using ChatGPT) to check that stu-
dents understand the play.
Procedure
• Give the students the play and ask them what they think it is about.
• Give the students the comprehension questions and give them time
to read and answer them.
• Check and clarify their answers.
• Put the students into groups and ask them to think about the emotion
each of the characters is feeling when they say their lines.
• Get some feedback from the students and ask them to say the lines
using the emotion.
• Assign parts to each student (don't forget to include a narrator) and
ask them to practice their part.
• Put the students into groups and ask them to read through the play
together a few times. You could also assign one student as the dir-
ector and get them to encourage the others and support their per-
formance of the lines.
• Lastly, you could get students to practice physically acting out the
play.
• If they enjoy this, you could give them extra time to rehearse a more
polished performance.

The Socratic Teacher The Socratic method is often used in teaching philosophy and other
humanities subjects, but it can also be applied in other disciplines as a
way to encourage critical thinking and discussion. It is particularly ef-
fective in helping students develop skills such as analysis, synthesis,
evaluation, and inference.
43
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Example:
Let's discuss a topic or concept that I want to know more about.
You'll ask me questions to help me explore it further.
We'll work together to build a deeper understanding of the topic.
You'll provide feedback to help me identify any misconceptions or gaps
in my understanding in the style of the Socratic technique.
We'll approach this with an open mind, and we'll be curious and inquis-
itive as we explore the topic.
I want you to ask speci c questions that will push my understanding of
the topic.
Only ask one question per turn.
Let's begin with the topic of language teaching
This is the start of the discussion we had. As you'll see after a while,
ChatGPT went into telling mode again, but you can get it to stop by
telling it to ask you another question.

time.
• In the next class, put students into groups and get them to share
what they can remember from their adventure. They can then reread
the text.
Notes:
This is potentially a never ending activity, so you could do a few turns
each lesson. This would require that the students read through the text
again to remind themselves of what happened in the previous lesson.
You would need to make a note of the chat name, and don't delete it or
use it for any other purposes.
Follow-up
• Get students to make notes of any new vocabulary - (You could get
GPT to provide you with a glossary or words and de nitions from the
text.)
• Get students to summarise the story and/or write their own version of
it from memory.
• Ask the students to write an ending for the story.

write in different styles and registers depending on the purpose and
audience of their writing.
4. Enhancing their language pro ciency: Understanding style and
register requires a good understanding of the nuances of the English
language. By learning about these aspects of the language, ESL stu-
dents can improve their overall language pro ciency.
5. Adapting to different cultures: Different cultures have different ex-
pectations for language use. By learning about style and register, ESL
students can better understand and adapt to the language expecta-

• Create a pair of parallel texts for your students.
Procedure
• Give the students the texts and ask them to read and identify:
• The kind of person who wrote the texts
• Who the texts were written for
• The genre of the text
• The purpose of the text
• Ask the students how they know.
• Ask the students to identify the key differences between the texts.
• If we are using texts like emails or letters, you can ask students to
write a reply using either a formal or informal style based on their ana-
lysis of the differences.
• You could also ask students to write a similar text using the style of
one of the examples.
Task
• Think about some text types that would be appropriate to use with
your students.
• Try to create some examples for them.

We all know that songs work really well in the classroom and help
student retain language, but nding the right song for the lan-
guage point you are teaching can be really tricky.
CREATING
SONGS This is what ChatGPT says about the use of songs in the
classroom:
Here are some reasons why we should use songs in the lan-
guage classroom:
1. Familiarity: Many students are likely to be familiar with the
songs, artists, and genres of music used in the classroom. This
can create a sense of comfort and ease in the learning environ-
ment.
2. Vocabulary: Songs often contain a range of vocabulary that
students might not encounter in their textbooks. Learning new
words in context can help students understand their meanings
and use them in real-life situations.
65
fi
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Creating Songs 3. Pronunciation: Listening to and singing along with songs can help
students improve their pronunciation and develop an ear for the rhythm
and melody of English.
4. Grammar: Song lyrics can also provide examples of grammar struc-
tures and sentence patterns that students can learn and practice.
5. Culture: Music is an integral part of many cultures, and using song

ChatGPT can help outline a study plan for you or your students. Study
plans can help to set goals for students and give them something con-
crete to aim for. ChatGTP will also provide a schedule for the study
plan.
Most of the study plans it suggests are thin on detail, but once the
study plan has been produced you can ask GTP to add more detail to
the suggestions, and you can edit them yourself to improve the study
plans.
Prompt - This prompt will create a study plan with a schedule to help
students achieve the goals of the plan.
I am {de ne yourself} and my goal is to {outline goal} in {period of
time}. Please create a study plan and schedule.
I can help you create a study plan to learn 30 new words in the next
two weeks. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve your goal:
1. Make a list of the 30 words you want to learn: First, create a list of the
30 words you want to learn. You can choose words from a speci c top-
ic, or choose words that you encounter frequently in your daily life.
2. Break the list into smaller groups: Divide the list into smaller groups
of 5 or 10 words. This will make it easier to study and memorize.
3. Study a group of words each day: Set aside time each day to study a
group of words. Read each word, its de nition, and try to use it in a
sentence. You can also listen to how the word is pronounced to help
you remember it better.

PROMPT
ENGINEERING
In this chapter of the book you’ll be looking at
prompt writing. You’ll work through a number of
tips that can help you understand how to get bet-
ter responses from ChatGPT and expand the po-
tential for what you can do with it.
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Prompts are the messages that you type or dictate into the
ChatGPT interface in order for it to interact with you.
WHAT IS PROMPT If, like me, you started using ChatGPT and 'chatted' with it like
ENGINEERING? you would when holding a conversation with a person, you may
have become a bit disillusioned (or maybe not. I guess it de-
pends on your expectations) and found it a bit limited. I know
that in the early stages of creating this course, I found it a bit like
chatting with a very frustrating person who was deliberately mis-
understanding me while I was trying to get it to produce the re-
sponses I wanted.
The reason for this is that in order to get the best from ChatGPT,
you need to develop an understanding of and the ability to write
good prompts (or just copy the ones I've provided in the book).
This skill is called prompt engineering, and apparently compan-
ies are now recruiting prompt engineers and offering very high
salaries in order to nd people who can write/engineer prompts
to get the best results for their company.

[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
What is Prompt I can't pretend, even now, that I have achieved any great expert level at
Engineering? creating prompts and of course as new versions of ChatGPT are re-
leased some of the rules and capabilities will change, but here I would
like to share some insights with you that may be helpful and reduce
your level of frustration when you want to start moving beyond or im-

One of the things that makes ChatGPT different from many other
chatbots is that you can have multiple different conversations
with it and keep these in your history.
TIP 1. NEW TOPIC
- NEW CHAT The history is more than just a useful way of storing and continu-
ing past interactions, it's also necessary to help ChatGPT separ-
ate and understand topics.
When you start a New Chat with ChatGPT, it starts without any
preconceptions about the chat. It's like meeting someone new for
the rst time. When you continue an interaction, it understands
any new comments in relation to your previous interactions within
that thread. This is what makes it so much like talking to a real
person. The problem with this is though that it doesn't under-
stand that people change topics without much signposting, so if
you change to a different topic, its response will still be based
upon an analysis of the other interactions within that chat thread.

[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Tip 1. New Topic - New It is also possible to tell ChatGPT to disregard any previous interaction
Chat when answering your question, but it's still better to start a new chat, as
ChatGPT is limited in how much data it can analyse from your chat be-
fore responding. The longer the chat thread becomes, the more likely it
is to become 'confused'.

The Act as ... prompt is incredibly useful, especially if you want your
students to practice language directly with ChatGPT.
You can ask ChatGPT to Act as ... pretty much anything and the more
detail you give it, the more likely it is to give you the kind of results you
want. So in my prompt above, by adding "teenage boy" rather than
"someone" I've given ChatGPT some vital information that helps it im-
prove its output.
The more information you give ChatGPT, the better the results will be.
213
fi
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Tip 2. The "Act as..." Here's an example prompt with more information:
Prompt Act as a teenage boy and write a letter to a girl called Maria and tell
her how you feel. Mention her dark eyes, hair and sense of humour.
214
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Tip 2. The "Act as..." When you want to interact with the character you create, you just need
Prompt to add to your prompt. You can do this by describing the person you
want to speak to, and then add "Answer my questions" to the end of the
prompt.

It's easy to miss, but if you put your cursor over any of your
prompts, a small edit icon will appear at the end of the prompt.
TIP 3. EDIT
PROMPTS
Click on it, and you'll be able to edit the prompt and resubmit it.
This is really useful as a tool for improving your prompt engineer-
ing, as it enable you to play and experiment with prompts and
nd out how to improve them.
217
fi
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Tip 3. Edit Prompts Be aware though that when you edit a prompt, everything that came
after that in the chat thread will disappear. So if you decide to edit
prompt one of three, then prompts and responses to prompts two and
three will disappear. To nd these again, look for a numbered scroll but-
ton to the left of the prompt.

When you write your ChatGPT prompt, tell it what your goal is/
what you want to achieve. This will give it more context and bet-
ter understanding, and help it to produce results that are less
TIP 4. DEFINE bland and generic and more suitable to your purpose.
YOUR PURPOSE
Prompt: I used this prompt to ask ChatGPT to create a story
about clowns.
Please write a story about clowns.

Tip 4. Define your Prompt: In this prompt, I told GPT why I wanted the story, and it did a
purpose better job and provided me with some information.
I want to improve my students' understanding of narrative tenses.
Write a story about clowns that I can use to demonstrate the use of
different narrative tenses.

Prompt: Just telling ChatGPT how many can easily limit the output.
Write 3 key questions to ask Madonna
224
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Tip 5. Add Constraints Another useful constraint you might add when you want to interact with
ChatGPT is to de ne the rules of turn taking.
Prompt: In this example, I'm creating a role play prompt so that Chat-
GPT can ask questions and I can be Madonna and answer them.
I will be Madonna and you will ask me questions.
225
fi
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Tip 5. Add Constraints Prompt: This is how I modi ed the prompt and added constraints.
I am Madonna. You are an interviewer. You will ask me questions. Ask
me your rst question and wait for me to answer.
As you can see, this was more successful, and I was able to start an-
swering question one at a time, like a normal interview.

the questions, and you wanted ChatGPT to be Madonna.

TIP6. GIVE
Giving ChatGPT examples of what you want it to produce or how
you want the output structured can help it to give you what you
CHATGPT want more quickly.
EXAMPLES
Prompt: I used this prompt to create a vocabulary list of words
connected to music.
Create a list of keywords about music.
228
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Being speci c about the genre of what you want ChatGPT to produce
can also help to get better results.

Examples the text.
Write a review of a rock concert for a fan magazine.

these tips, we can produce much better and more appropriate content
and interactions for our students.

Tip 7. Break writing Example: Write a 5-paragraph essay. The question the essay ad-
down into stages dresses is "Can AI make ethical decisions?"
Not only is this quite super cial due to the word limit, it also has more
than the ve paragraphs I asked for.

[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Tip 7. Break writing So, if you want to produce something that's longer than about 600 - 700
down into stages words, you'll need to break it down into sections. So with the example
of the 5-paragraph essay, I asked it to produce just the rst paragraph,
then once I've reviewed it and suggested improvement I can move on
to the second paragraph. In this way, I get a much better nished
product.
Example: Write the rst paragraph of a 5-paragraph essay. The ques-
tion the essay addresses is "Can AI make ethical decisions?"

AI TOOLS
In this chapter we’ll explore a range of additional
AI tools that can be used along side ChatGPT to
develop and enhance the content you create.
[email protected] 24 Sep 2023
Create Audio from Text This is a great tool for creating audio. You just need to type your script,
with Audyo then select a voice. You can add expression to the voice and edit it to
make it sound more lifelike using phonetics. Then download the audio
le to use with students. This is a great way to turn text created in
ChatGPT into listening tasks for students.

AI Powered Search and This tool describes itself as a search engine for developers, but it's
Research with Phind really quite a good search engine for anyone. It combines Google like
results with results in the ChatGPT style. It shows the response in a
ChatGPT style in the main column of the page and Google style links to
sites on the right.
If you scroll down, you can also interrogate the results in the same way
that you can build a conversation with ChatGPT. Phind also saves your
search history as chats in the same way as ChatGPT. You can return to
these to do further research. This is a great tool for research when you
want much more reliable sources than the ones offered by ChatGPT.

Fun and Discussion with This is more of a fun tool that can lead to some light discussion. You
Pick My Line can use it to create 'pickup lines'. These are conversation openers that
you might use to start a conversation with someone you are attracted
to. To generate the lines, you type a description of the person and se-
lect the gender, then click on 'Get My Line'. The app will create a num-
ber of lines that you can scroll through and select from.
Generally the lines are pretty awful and are mostly based on physical
compliments, but this could lead to an interesting discussion on how to
open conversations and how to give compliments.

Resumes and Role This seems like an odd name for an app, but it's a really useful collec-
Models with These tion of 1000 resumes generated by ChatGPT. The resumes are all those
Resumes Don't Exist of very successful people in different professions. They are based on
factual information from what is known about the person online. They
can be used in a number of ways. Students could nd a role model and
study the things that they need to do to become their role model. The
resumes also act as good models for resume writing activities. You
could also get students to try to fact-check the resumes or use them to
design an interview with the person.

Create Images and This is Open AI's image creation app. It produces original images
Illustrations with DALL.E based on text prompts. The better you describe the picture and style
2 that you want, the better the results will be. This is a useful tool for cre-
ating ashcards, illustrations for projects and presentation and all kinds
of teaching materials
I've used it to develop images and covers for a number of books I've
developed. You get a number of free prompts each month and can buy
more if you need them. Once you produce images, you own the copy-
right for them.

Create Spectacular The strangely named Midjourney app is one of the most impressive AI
Images with image generation apps that I have seen so far. The images look high
Midjourney quality and detailed, and in some case very realistic. They are also
based on text prompt input. Midjourney is a bit more complex to use
than other AI text to image generators, but the results are outstanding.
You can browse the gallery here: https://www.midjourney.com/show-

prompt that was used to produce the image.

Create Digital Tome is a great tool for creating very modern digital narrative. The
Narrative with Tome presentations are stored online in your account and can be shared us-
ing links or embedded into other materials. The narratives are really
easy to create. You just drag and drop the features you need onto each
slide. From a visual design perspective, these narratives look
fantastic. The idea behind Tome is that it should be easy to create the
digital part of the narrative so that you can focus on telling the story. It's
free, so it would be a great tool to get students using for projects and
reports. Once you have created your narrative, you can also record a
talking head guide that viewers can watch as the presentation plays.
Tome runs in the web-browser, but there is also a version for iOS.

which are controlled by Open AI. These values could be argued to be
biased towards perpetuating a 'western' world view.
