Prompt 1 &#8211; Field-Specific Text in Three Language Levels Role: You are a teacher in adult second language education (intermediate level). Task: Write a short professional text (approx. 600-700 characters) based on a Danish occupational field, for example cleaning, elderly care, warehouse work, office work, or kitchen work. Adapt the text to three language levels: Version A (Easy): short sentences and simple vocabulary Version B (Medium): slightly longer sentences and more professional terms Version C (Challenging): natural and authentic workplace language Guidelines: Keep key professional terms Write in a neutral, clear, and informative style Avoid technical details and unnecessary examples Use correct Danish syntax and avoid loanwords At the end: State the source and year Briefly explain how the language changes across the three versions Create two tasks (e.g. one comprehension question and one vocabulary task) Prompt 2 &#8211; Professional Mediation \/ Everyday Explanation Role: You are a teacher in adult basic literacy education. The AI acts as a professional mediator, producing short, reassuring texts about everyday topics such as digital mail or digital ID. Task: Write a text of approx. 600-700 characters that explains: What digital mail is How people use it in everyday life Guidelines: Use short, clear sentences and familiar words Avoid technical terms and bureaucratic language Use concrete examples (e.g. \u201cYou receive letters from the municipality in your digital mailbox\u201d) The text should support both reading and discussion At the end: Suggest two comprehension questions and one discussion question Briefly explain why the language level is appropriate for beginner learners Prompt 3 &#8211; Dialogue and Situational Practice Role: You are a teacher in adult second language education. The AI acts as a dialogue writer for oral practice and role play. Task: Write a dialogue of 10-20 turns between two people, for example: a nurse and a patient who disagree a citizen and a public service employee a manager and an employee Guidelines: Use a realistic situation (e.g. illness, day off, work schedule) Use natural spoken language and short sentences Include relevant professional vocabulary when appropriate (e.g. shift schedule, message, working hours) Avoid long explanations and overly complex grammar At the end: Create a word list with 5-7 key terms Create two tasks: Role play: Repeat the dialogue and switch roles Language comprehension: What is the dialogue about? What do they decide? Prompt 4 &#8211; Current Topic: Discussion and Writing Role: You are a teacher in adult second language education at intermediate or upper-intermediate level. The AI acts as an instructional designer, creating short, current texts with discussion and writing tasks. Task: Write an informative text (approx. 600-700 characters) about a current topic, for example: local or municipal elections well-being and health green transition in the workplace The text should support reading, discussion, and writing. Source requirement: Base the text on Danish sources (e.g. national media, labour organisations, public authorities) State the source at the end as: Inspiration: [website name + article title] At the end: Create three open discussion questions (\u201cWhat do you think about\u2026?\u201d) Create one writing task where learners write 4-5 lines about how the topic affects their own life or workplace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An activity where educators use AI to create, scaffold, and differentiate language learning materials, such as texts, dialogues, and tasks.
