A mesterséges intelligenciát nagyon jól lehet használni a

nyelvoktatásban. Például óratervek készítésére. A feladatnál megadod
neki a szempontokat: milyen korosztálynak szeretnéd, milyen hosszú
órára, milyen típusú feladatok legyenek benne. Minél részletesebben
adod meg, annál jobban fog sikerülni. Rengeteg időt lehet vele
megspórolni és ráadásul nagyon jó ötletei vannak!
Ide beillesztek egy példát, hogyan is lehet használni:

1. Lesson plan with AI

https://chatgpt.com/c/66e1c559-cf04-8007-b7db-bcd27a56bf64

Using AI to assist an English teacher in writing lesson plans can be highly beneficial for
several reasons:

1. Time Efficiency: AI can automate repetitive tasks, such as creating lesson outlines,
generating quizzes, or drafting assignments. This saves teachers valuable time,
allowing them to focus more on personalized teaching and student engagement.
2. Customization: AI can help tailor lesson plans based on individual student needs,
such as proficiency levels, learning styles, or specific areas of difficulty. This ensures
lessons are more targeted and effective.
3. Content Generation: AI can generate creative and diverse teaching materials, such as
reading passages, writing prompts, and discussion topics, offering fresh and dynamic
content that may enhance student interest.
4. Data-Driven Insights: By analyzing past student performance data, AI can suggest
areas where additional focus is needed, guiding teachers to design lessons that address
learning gaps.
5. Consistency and Accuracy: AI ensures consistency in lesson structure, objectives,
and assessments, reducing human error while maintaining alignment with curriculum
standards.

Overall, AI can act as a powerful assistant, allowing English teachers to create more effective,
personalized, and engaging lesson plans with less effort.

3. FLIPPED LESSON

Akinek van ideje és energiája rá, házi feladatnak lehet kiadni a haladó
csoportoknak egy-egy videó megtekintését, amiről egy feladattal
visszajelzést is kapsz, hogy megnézte-e. Ez alapozza meg a következő
személyes tanóra anyagát, elő van készítve így az újonnan tanult anyag.

Here’s how it works:

1. Before the Lesson: Students learn new content on their own at home. This might be
through videos, articles, or other materials that the teacher provides. They can take
notes and go over the content at their own pace.
2. During Class: Instead of listening to a lecture, students use class time to practice what
they’ve learned. The teacher organizes activities like discussions, group work, or
exercises to help students apply the new knowledge. The teacher is there to guide,
answer questions, and give feedback.
3. Active Learning: In class, students engage more with the material and with each
other. They get to ask questions, solve problems, and work on real-life language tasks,
like writing or speaking activities.
4. After Class: Students might continue practicing what they learned in class,
completing any remaining exercises or projects.

The goal of a flipped lesson is to make sure students come to class prepared and ready to
actively use the language, improving their skills through hands-on practice with the support of
the teacher.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Name: Nyíriné Fürstner Viktória

Target group: Primary School, grade 5, 14 students
Target content aims: Using a Nearpod video, I organize the main focus of my lesson, exploring the topic of Christmas traditions
especially in the U.K. After watching the video, we collect important words and phrases, discussing to reinforce what we've
learned. Then, students work together in groups to create a project based on the topic. At the end of the lesson, each group
presents their project to the class, sharing their discoveries and thoughts.

Target language aims: emphasizing vocabulary acquisition, cultural understanding, fostering teamwork, stimulating creativity,
and refining sentence construction.

Description: They need to watch a brief video online explaining British Christmas traditions and answer five questions related to
the topic while watching. This way, they'll already have some understanding before our live lesson begins.

A szabadulószoba nagyon népszerű feladat lett, Google forms használatával nem is olyan bonyolult, csatolok egy
példát, amit én használtam alsóbb évfolyamban:

Description:
Use Google Forms to create a digital escape room, as seen in the example in our lesson.
Make sure:
● you use minimum 3 separate tasks (e.g. created in LearningApps) with passwords
added at the end
● your tasks help learners practice a language point
● your tasks are framed by a fun/motivating theme or story
● the stages of the escape room are connected well
Then, as a new document (Word or Google Doc), create a table like the one below, fill it
in, and share it with me on Google Classroom.
(You are also free to choose a different tool to create your escape room with - e.g.
Genial.ly, just let me know.)
I used Google űrlapok to create the task

Exploring the Seasons: Looking Back

In nature, there were four special times called seasons. These seasons were spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter.
Each season had its own unique characteristics and changes in weather.
In spring the weather started to get warmer. The flowers blossomed and the trees started to grow green leaves. The days
became longer, and we could enjoy the sunshine more. Birds returned from their winter homes, and we heard them
singing again.
Summer was the hottest season. The days were long, and the sun shone brightly in the sky. We could go to the beach and
play in the sand or swim in the cool water. Families often had barbecues outside and enjoyed delicious food together.
In autumn, the weather started to cool down. The leaves ont he trees changed colour and fell to the ground. It got windy,
and we needed to wear scarves to keep warm. Farmers harvested their crops, and we celebrated with a harvest festival.
Winter was the coldest season of all. It often snowed, and we could build snowmen or go skiing ont he mountains. We
wore mittens and scarves to stay warm. Inside our homes, we gathered around the fireplace and drank hot chocolate.
No matter the season, each one was special in its own way. We enjoyed different activities and saw the beauty of the
nature throughout the year.

In the midst of summer’s fervent embrace, the sun reigns supreme in the azure sky. Its radiant beams imbue the
world with an ineffable warmth, enticing families to seek solace along the sandy shores of the seaside. As gentle
zephyrs caress the coastline, their cool breath offers respite from the scorching sun, prompting beachgoers to
unfurl their umbrellas in anticipation of the day's adventures. Amidst the tranquil lull of waves, the rhythmic
symphony of laughter and chatter punctuates the air, echoing the joyous spirit of the season. As twilight descends
upon the horizon, the heavens come alive with a celestial display, adorned with myriad stars that twinkle in the
vast expanse above. The night sky becomes a canvas for bursts of vibrant hues as fireworks dance and dazzle
casting ephemeral splendor upon enraptured onlookers below. In the twilight hours, amidst the whispers of the sea
and the gentle rustle of palm fronds, memories are captured in photographs immortalizing fleeting moments of
bliss and camaraderie. Summer with its boundless allure and beguiling charm, serves as a testament to the eternal
beauty of nature and the timeless joy found in shared experiences.

Winter is a special time of the year when the world transforms into a magical wonderland. When the temperature drops,
many people cozy up indoirs to stay warm. However, some adventurous souls brave the cold to enjoy activities like skiing,
snowboarding, or ice skating. As the snow falls gently from the sky, everything becomes blanketed in a layer of white.
Families often gather around a crakling fireplace, sipping hot cocoa and sharing stories. It’s also a time for holiday
celebrations, with colorful lights adorning houses and trees. People look forward to spending time with loved ones and
exchanging gifts. Despite the chill in the air, there’s a sense of warmth and joy during the winter season. Some people
eagerly anticipate the first snowfall, while others prefer to escape to warmer destinations. Regardless of personal
preferences, winter brings a sense of nostalgia and excitement for many. So, whether you’re building a snowman or
snuggled up with a good book, there’s something enchanting about the winter months.
