🥣 Vorbereitung – Vor dem Einsatz im Unterricht
- The educator selects one of the four provided prompts included in this recipe, depending on the teaching purpose (e.g. text production, dialogue practice, discussion, or differentiated materials).
- The educator adjusts only the following elements: topic or theme (e.g. workplace, everyday services, current issue), learner language level, length or format (text, dialogue, task). The structure and pedagogical intent of the prompt remain unchanged.
- The educator reviews the AI-generated material with focus on: language level and clarity, relevance for the learners, cultural and contextual appropriateness. If needed, the educator may run the prompt again with small adjustments.
🔥 Umsetzung (Im Unterricht / Synchron )
- The educator explains the purpose of the activity (e.g. reading practice, dialogue training, discussion, or writing) and introduces the topic.
- The educator selects one of the four provided prompts from the References & Resources section.
- The educator makes minimal contextual adjustments (topic, learner level, length or format).
- The AI generates a first version of the teaching material.
- The educator reviews the material and adjusts it if needed before classroom use.
- Learners work with the material through reading, dialogue, discussion, or short writing activities. Learners interact with the content, not directly with AI.
