practising your english speaking with chatgpt

Whilst integrating IT into teaching, learning, and assessment will require careful consideration, we will be using AI more an more in language acquisition.

For example, there has been a lot of research into the use of Chat GPT in teaching/learning/working with English. And on a practical level, we can ask AI if they can give me a lesson plan!

Finally, whilst language is indeed a human thing, we are increasingly able to have pretty good 'conversations' with AI bots.

As the AI Overview on Google suggests:

To interact with ChatGPT, you can type your prompts into the text box or use the voice conversation feature. On the mobile app, you can find the microphone icon to speak your prompts. On the web version, you can enable voice conversations in the settings and use the microphone icon or voice mode button to talk to ChatGPT. 

Here's a breakdown of how to talk to ChatGPT:

1. Using Voice on the Mobile App:

• Open the ChatGPT app and locate the message box. 
• Look for the headphone-shaped icon or the voice waveform icon on the right side of the text box. 
Tap the icon to activate voice input and choose your preferred voice from the available options. 
Start speaking your prompts, and the app will automatically detect the end of your sentences. 
To end the conversation, you can tap the circular button with a cross in the middle of the screen. 

2. Using Voice on the Web:

Go to ChatGPT.com. 
If it's your first time using advanced voice, you may need to grant browser permission to access your microphone. 
Locate the voice icon on the bottom-right of the screen and click on it. 
Choose your preferred voice and begin speaking your prompts. 
You can also use the microphone icon to enter your prompt using voice-to-text. 

3. Typing Prompts:

Regardless of whether you are using the app or the web version, you can always type your prompts into the message box. 
After typing your prompt, press enter or the send button to send it to ChatGPT. 

Key points to remember:

Speak clearly and concisely when using voice input. 
ChatGPT can handle ongoing conversations, so you can refer to previous prompts. 
You can refine your prompts by using follow-up questions or by providing additional context. 
Experiment with different prompts and approaches to find what works best for you.

etymology can be fun!

Sometimes English doesn't make much sense!

Jay Doubleyou: why is english so different from other languages? part one: vocab

To help, though, it's good to have some idea about where words come from and how they are made up:

What teachers should know about English vocabulary

In other words, what's a word's etymology?

Etymology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Online Etymology Dictionary

But be careful:

Etymology is a study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time and Philology is a study of language in written historical sources

Etymology vs. Philology - What's the difference? | Ask Difference

We could take any word and play with it:

Jay Doubleyou: a history of the the word 'orange'

There's lots of interesting things around words - where they come from and where they are going:

Jay Doubleyou: how languages emerge, change, convey meaning and influence how we think

Here's a great place to go:

Online Etymology Dictionary

For example:

A Word or Two

Wicked Words | Columns

And it's quite good:

The Online Etymology Dictionary has been referenced by Oxford University's "Arts and Humanities Community Resource" catalog as "an excellent tool for those seeking the origins of words"[6] and cited in the Chicago Tribune as one of the "best resources for finding just the right word".[7] It is cited in academic work as a useful, though not definitive, reference for etymology.[8][9][10] In addition, it has been used as a data source for quantitative scholarly research.[11][12]

creating learner independence outside of the classroom

How do we create learner independence outside of the classroom?

SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING

Well, we know children can teach themselves - without needing a school, classroom or teacher:

Sugata Mitra: The child-driven education | TED Talk

Jay Doubleyou: teaching the teachers: the future of education

On the other hand, you can encourage students to be more independent - starting in the classroom:

How to promote independent learning in the primary classroom | DoodleLearning

Ways To Help Students Become More Independent Learners

BLENDED LEARNING AND THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM

A starting point is to blend or mix spaces inside and outside the classroom [and you can skip the middle section]:

The Basics of Blended Learning - YouTube

This helps students to become independent learners - as well as enables a very flexible approach to what happens in and out of the class:

A flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning, which aims to increase student engagement and learning by having pupils complete readings at home and work on live problem-solving during class time.[1] This pedagogical style moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. With a flipped classroom, students watch online lectures, collaborate in online discussions, or carry out research at home, while actively engaging concepts in the classroom, with a mentor's guidance.

Flipped classroom - Wikipedia

We can use technology in the flipped classroom - with an inspiring video here:

Teaching for Tomorrow: Flipped Learning - YouTube

Jay Doubleyou: blended learning and the flipped classroom

NO CHOICE: TEACHING AND LEARNING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC:

Of course, the last two years have been very difficult for both students and teachers - as everyone had to try and make use of digital technology:

And it threw open all sorts of challenges:

Jay Doubleyou: digital learning solutions

RESOURCES

Where can we go for digital learning platforms outside the classroom?

How can these make learners more independent and effective?

There are lots of excellent eady-made videos:

• Khan Academy - YouTube

• Let's use video to reinvent education | Salman Khan - YouTube

Here's an excellent guide to which resources can be used for independent learning - also for outside the classroom:

Fostering learner independence in your classroom will give your students the best chance of future success. Help your students to be less reliant on you, and more actively involved and invested in their learning in the classroom and beyond, with these 5 tips for teachers!

using digital technology in a student-centred classroom

Where is a good place to start with using digital technology in a student-centred classroom?

SMARTPHONES

Students will already have a piece of digital technology in their pockets - and they can do a lot with them:

• take a photo of the board to look at for homework
• record your voice to compare with a model
• use voice-recognition technology to reproduce sounds correctly

What other ways are there to make use of this device for learning language in the classroom?

Using smartphones for ESOL learning | ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES

Whitepaper-mobiles-in-class.pdf

10 Ways to Use Smartphones to Teach English

TINKERING

Students like to be given problems to solve, to fix or build something, or to work to some sort of final result, for example:

Jay Doubleyou: questioning and problem-solving

Jay Doubleyou: task-based learning

Jay Doubleyou: play and learning

Here's another example - where kids are playing with dangerous things:

Gever Tulley teaches life lessons through tinkering - YouTube

Jay Doubleyou: tinkering school

How can this be done using digital technology?

Try doing things with your digits (or fingers!) and doing things digitally:

• students build a lego model in a team 
• an observer takes notes on their mobile and takes video shots
• following feedback, the team write up a report on a laptop and create a presentation on teamwork
• the team repeat the exercise, with observer and report-writing

(PDF) Conversation PDF - PDFSLIDE.NET (page 117, activity 67)

We like lego because it's something very different from 'technology':

Ways To Use Lego In The Classroom | Teaching Ideas

STUDENT-CENTRED

The point of all these activities is that digital technology can enable student-centred learning in the classroom - which is quite critical of traditional ways of learning:

Jay Doubleyou: student-centred learning

There's quite a lot of theory behind it: 

Through peer-to-peer interaction, collaborative thinking can lead to an abundance of knowledge. In placing a teacher closer to a peer level, knowledge and learning is enhanced, benefitting the student and classroom overall. According to Lev Vygotsky's theory of the zone of proximal development (ZPD), students typically learn vicariously through one another. Scaffolding is important when fostering independent thinking skills.

Student-centered learning - Wikipedia

But it's actually a very practical approach:

A “student-centered” approach shifts the focus of activity from the teacher to the learners. The teacher moves into a facilitator role and pays close attention to each student’s interests, abilities, and learning styles. Common student-centered learning activities include:

• active learning (problem solving, answering questions, discussing, formulating questions, debating)
• cooperative learning (collaboration with classmates)
• inquiry-based instruction
• project-based learning

Technology In The Classroom: A Student-Centered Approach - Knowing Technologies

The technology to help this happen has been available for some time now:

Using Technology to Create Student-Centered Learning Environment (from 2013)

And through technology, students can learn better:

Below we’ve listed ways in which adopting a student strategy that makes judicious use of technology in the classroom environment can improve engagement and pushing up student success rates:

• Helps connect students to the real world:
• Prepares students for the workforce:
• Encourages collaboration:
• Supports different types of learners:
• Access information more easily:
• Teaches students how to be responsible online:
• Adds a fun-factor to learning:

7 Reasons Why Students Need Technology in the Classroom

And so we are back to tinkering by using smartphones:
