OpenAI & the future of language teaching

[@FunsongsCoUkaction_songs]

Extremely interesting and useful reflections and suggestions. Mainstream ELT educational publishers, always wary of creative and passionate language teachers, will be foaming at the mouth!

Totally agree with Svetlana here. Good use requires expertise. Ask it to generate a text. Then ask it make T/F sentences to check comprehension. Right now it just repeats the same language from the text. Useless. But if you ask it to paraphrase and use synonyms it's way better. But are they good for what you're trying to do/highlight. You need to be a good enough teacher to know what you want the material/task to achive before you even use the tool. Otherwise, I foresee an avalanche of shlock material/meaningless activities thrown at the students all over the world.

Like Svetlana said. Garbage in, garbage out.

Thanks very much.

Hats off Prof ! I still don't know why the channels that have helpful and informative content don't get more likes. If KZbin allows me to hit more likes , I'll do.

Well, not everyone is intersted in language teaching, even teachers themselves.

Where can we get the slides for both presentations, and where can I get Svetlanas blog?

Do you have the yearly subscription? Is it really better than just google?

[@archanasamson8361]

Can someone help me with websites that offer free ELT webinars?

[@aliya_punkenglish]

Macmillan does, but I'd suggest search by names, not all of them worth listening to.

Well, the number of likes can never determine the distinctive quality of a language expert of international r

Was it or was it not ST that coined the phrase "beware of geeks bearing gifts"? Either that or he nicked it for a presentation many years ago. Can anyone attribute? Still laughing.
