Educators learn to use AI chatbots to generate and simulate authentic, dynamic conversation scenarios for learners to practice, moving beyond simple phrase translation.<\/p>\n

Learning Objectives<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Educators will be able to:<\/li>\n
  • Craft a prompt that generates a realistic dialogue for a specific scenario.<\/li>\n
  • Use a chatbot to role-play one side of a conversation, adapting to user input.<\/li>\n
  • Identify how this technique can support differentiation and personalization.<\/li>\n
  • Time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
    Item \/ Resource<\/th>\nQuantity<\/th>\nPurpose<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    AI tool(s) (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude)<\/td>\n1 per person<\/td>\nRole-play partner & script generator<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Content materials (Scenario cards)<\/td>\n1 set<\/td>\nIdeas for role-plays<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    Utensils<\/h2>\n

    Devices: One laptop or tablet per educator.<\/p>\n

    Internet: Stable Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

    AI Tool Access: Access to a free, conversational AI chatbot.<\/p>\n

    Preparation<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Scenario Cards: Prepare a set of "scenario cards" with relevant situations (e.g., "Calling a landlord to report a leak," "Asking for a day off work," "Complaining about a faulty product in a shop").<\/li>\n
    • Tool Familiarization: Test the role-play functionality of your chosen AI tool beforehand to ensure smooth demonstration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Implementation Steps<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • 1. Introduction & Demo (15 mins):<\/li>\n
      • Demonstrate the difference between a simple translation tool and a conversational AI. Highlight how AI can simulate dynamic interactions.<\/li>\n
      • Show how to set up a role-play scenario within the AI chatbot.<\/li>\n
      • Sample Prompt 1 (Dialogue Generation): "Write a short, simple dialogue between a customer and a shop assistant. The customer is returning a faulty toaster. Use A2-level English."<\/li>\n
      • 2. Live Role-Play Demonstration (15 mins):<\/li>\n
      • Show the powerful follow-up step: making the AI act as one participant in the dialogue.<\/li>\n
      • Sample Prompt 2 (Live Role-Play): "You are the shop assistant in the dialogue you just generated. I will be the customer. Respond to me appropriately. Keep your responses short and clear for an A2 learner."<\/li>\n
      • Conduct a live text-based conversation with the AI to illustrate its interactive capabilities.<\/li>\n
      • 3. Guided Practice (30 mins):<\/li>\n
      • Educators select a scenario card and first generate a dialogue using the AI.<\/li>\n
      • Then, they practice the live role-play with the AI, taking turns being the learner and observing the AI\u2019s responses.<\/li>\n
      • 4. Discussion & Application (15 mins):<\/li>\n
      • Educators discuss: How could this be used in class? (e.g., for homework practice, for generating model dialogues, for one-on-one support).<\/li>\n
      • Brainstorm a list of other useful scenarios relevant to adult migrants.<\/li>\n
      • Tip: Show educators how to add constraints to the prompt, such as "Use only the present simple tense" or "Include phrases for being polite."<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Differentiation & Inclusion<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • For less confident educators: Provide simpler, more concrete scenarios (e.g., "Ordering a coffee") and pre-written prompts.<\/li>\n
        • For advanced users: Introduce the concept of asking the AI to correct the learner\u2019s grammar during the role-play, or to provide feedback on pronunciation if using voice-based AI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Extensions \/ Follow-Ups<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Prompt Bank: Create a shared bank of pre-tested role-play prompts for common scenarios.<\/li>\n
          • Voice-Based AI: Explore voice-based AI assistants for speaking and pronunciation practice, adding another dimension to role-playing.<\/li>\n
          • Advanced Scenarios: Challenge educators to create multi-turn, complex role-plays that require more nuanced language and problem-solving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
