Use AI tools and step-by-step guided activities to help adult migrant learners solve common mobile phone problems independently, building digital confidence and self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n

Learning Objectives<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Students will be able to:<\/li>\n
  • Identify and describe common mobile phone problems in the target language.<\/li>\n
  • Use AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) to find step-by-step solutions to phone issues.<\/li>\n
  • Follow simple troubleshooting instructions independently.<\/li>\n
  • Build confidence in using digital devices and seeking help online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Item \/ Resource<\/th>\nQuantity<\/th>\nPurpose<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    Smartphones (learners' own devices)<\/td>\n1 per learner<\/td>\nFor hands-on troubleshooting practice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    ChatGPT or AI assistant<\/td>\n1 per learner or shared<\/td>\nTo find troubleshooting solutions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Troubleshooting scenario cards<\/td>\n1 set per group<\/td>\nDescribe common phone problems for practice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Simple visual guide \/ step-by-step handout<\/td>\n1 per learner<\/td>\nReference for common solutions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    Utensils<\/h2>\n

    Smartphones (learners' own or classroom devices)<\/p>\n

    Internet access<\/p>\n

    Printed scenario cards with common phone problems<\/p>\n

    Preparation<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Prepare a set of scenario cards describing common phone problems (e.g. "My phone battery drains quickly", "I cannot connect to Wi-Fi", "My phone is running slowly").<\/li>\n
    • Test each scenario with ChatGPT to ensure clear, accessible solutions are generated.<\/li>\n
    • Prepare a simple visual handout with the most common solutions.<\/li>\n
    • Ensure all devices are charged and connected to the internet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Implementation Steps<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Warm-up: Ask learners "What phone problems have you had?" Collect vocabulary on the board.<\/li>\n
      • Introduce ChatGPT: Show how to type a simple question about a phone problem.<\/li>\n
      • Demonstrate with one scenario: "My phone battery drains quickly. What can I do?" Show how to read and follow the AI response.<\/li>\n
      • Learners work in pairs with scenario cards: each pair picks a card and uses ChatGPT to find a solution.<\/li>\n
      • Pairs share their solution with the class in simple language.<\/li>\n
      • Whole-class practice: Try one solution on a real device (e.g. reduce screen brightness).<\/li>\n
      • Debrief: Discuss which solutions were helpful and how to evaluate AI advice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Differentiation & Inclusion<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • For very low digital literacy: Use picture-based scenario cards and demonstrate each step on a projected screen.<\/li>\n
        • For more advanced learners: Ask them to write a short guide for a classmate based on what they learned.<\/li>\n
        • For learners with language barriers: Allow use of translation tools alongside ChatGPT.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Assessment & Feedback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
          Criterion<\/th>\nExcellent<\/th>\nGood<\/th>\nNeeds Work<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
          Problem identification<\/td>\nClearly describes the phone problem in the target language<\/td>\nDescribes the problem with some support<\/td>\nStruggles to describe the problem without significant help<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
          Use of AI tool<\/td>\nUses ChatGPT independently to find and follow a solution<\/td>\nUses the tool with some guidance<\/td>\nRequires significant support to use the AI tool<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

          Extensions \/ Follow-Ups<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Create a class "Phone Help Guide" with solutions to common problems, written by learners.<\/li>\n
          • Extend to computer troubleshooting using the same AI-assisted approach.<\/li>\n
          • Invite learners to bring a real phone problem to the next session for group problem-solving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
