Abstract
I have been running workshops on Chat GPT for language learning. The pedagogy is based on modelling and giving feedback.
Outcomes – Skills that can applied to EAP
Chat GPT for writing and research in partnership with the University Library site to check for fake information and improve search skills.
How to prompt for terms and concepts, which can lead to subsequent prompts, helpful in brainstorming and learning vocabulary.
How to prompt for outlines to help organise writing
How to prompt for feedback on errors, reasons why, and options to choose from. In this way, Chat GPT does NOT rewrite, but more importantly gives feedback and options.
EAP Application and process
Students from their discipline enter terms from their academic field.
They then prompt to generate synonyms for brainstorming and, definitions for vocabulary learning
A focused topic is formed, and can be organised by prompting for an outline
Students write, and learn how to prompt for error identification and language options. In this way writing is improved by way of awareness and choice, not by re-writing.
