This module opened the door to the use of generative AI in teaching English as a foreign language, lesson planning, material design, and the integration of AI tools into the teaching process. I was both curious and skeptical at the start of the course. I was aware of tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, but I wasn't sure how relevant or reliable they would be in an academic context, especially in terms of supporting focused curriculum goals and real student needs.
My initial motivation was to find out about these tools, mainly as a way of reducing planning time. However, as I progressed through the lessons, discussions, and activities, I realized there was so much more potential. Not only did the module address the technical expertise, such as how to generate content and compare LLMs, but also critical thinking, curriculum alignment, student-centered design, and the ethical use of AI.
This blog post traces my learning journey during the module, from the moment I first tried AI tools to creating my very first AI-assisted lesson plan. It also shares how these tools disrupted my understanding of teaching and how I see myself using them in my own practice in the future.
