Welcome to HAVE FUN WITH ENGLISH

I would like to welcome all students at the EOI Pontevedra to a blog where they will find a lot of information about the school together with a wide range of activities to practise and improve their English. I´m sure most of them will find the activities in the blog both amusing and enjoyable! Hope you learn a lot... and please, let me know if there is anything you want me to include!!

INNOVATIVE ROLE PLAY ACTIVIES WITH AI

Dear language enthusiasts,

First of all, allow me to apologize for having been absent for so long! I have been exploring new ways to enhance my English language teaching practice, completely absorbed by the potential Artificial Intelligence has brought into play! I have been researching new methods of incorporating AI into my classroom and ended up designing captivating role-play activities, among others! As you all know, role-play activities have been hailed as powerful tools in language education. They immerse students in real-life situations, allowing them to apply new language skills in context.

With this idea in mind, I have crafted an activity that delves into diverse attitudes to ageing in present-day society. Any blended teachers in Galicia who are dealing with Module 2 in the C1.1 course... this has you covered! Obviously, I have used Canva to design the cards representing the different characters, each with their own perspective on ageing. 

Asking ChatGPT to create the roles was not difficult at all. Once I had the idea in mind, the game came out easily and it did the trick in class. Who do you think the most popular character was? Place your bets!
