AI-Enhanced Corpus-Based Teaching Material

 Fun with Quantifiers: Using AI and Corpus in the Classroom

Designing this AI-enhanced corpus-based teaching material was a highly informative experience for me as a pre-service English teacher. In this assignment, my friends and I created many different activities that help high school learners understand and practice quantifiers through discovery, analysis, and production. The material includes tasks that test students’ knowledge, a corpus-based activity and an AI-supported classification exercise, an inductive discovery section, and a final output stage where students produce their own sentences. After completing the teaching material, we also prepared a detailed lesson plan following the ASSURE model, which you can find linked at the end of this post.

In the first stage, students complete the tasks to check their background knowledge where they decide whether objects in pictures are countable or uncountable and choose the correct quantifier in the given sentences. In the second stage, they work with a corpus-based activity. They search each quantifier on CorpusMate, select one example sentence for each, compare the results and write rules about how these quantifiers function with countable and uncountable nouns. In the AI-enhanced stage, students use ChatGPT to generate incorrect examples of quantifiers, rewrite the ten sentences they receive and correct them. In the inductive discovery stage, learners underline or circle quantifiers in ten example sentences and identify whether the noun is countable or uncountable and whether the meaning is positive or negative. Finally, in the output stage, students complete fill-in-the-blank sentences using the ten quantifiers and write short descriptions of picture scenarios by producing their own sentences.

Designing the material was challenging because we had to balance creativity and clarity. We wanted tasks to be visually engaging and meaningful. Also, we were unsure if they were fully suitable for high school students’ level.

In a real classroom, longer tasks like the inductive table can create time-management challenges. But generally, the material is good because it offers a variety of activities and includes both corpus and AI tasks.

Overall, this assignment helped me understand how AI and corpus tools can meaningfully support language teaching when used with clear pedagogical goals. 

Thank you for taking the time to read! I hope you found some useful tips:)

Second Draft: Improving Our Material and Lesson Plan with Feedback

        After receiving feedback from both our teacher and classmates, we revisited our material and lesson plan and made significant changes. First, we were told that our AI and corpus parts were separate. So, we revised them and ensured both tools are used together in connected tasks.

        We also received feedback suggesting that the visual design could be more engaging. In response, we added supportive visuals and reorganized the worksheet. 

        Another important point was that our objective did not fully follow the ABCD structure and we wrote only one objective. We revised this section by rewriting all learning objectives using the correct ABCD format and clarifying the measurable outcomes. We also separated objectives into short bullet points to increase clarity. 

        Finally, we improved the Evaluate & Revise section. Instead of using general statements about diagnostic and formative assessment, we divided this section into three clear parts: (1) Assessment of Learner Achievement, where we explained how students’ answers and progress will be evaluated; (2) Evaluation of Strategies & Technology, where we described how the teacher will monitor the use of AI tools; and (3) Revisions, where we stated how the material will be adapted if students continue to face difficulties. 

        Overall, the feedback process helped us make the material more coherent, more measurable, more visually appealing, and more student-centered. Now, I believe that the missing elements in both our lesson plan and our material have been successfully completed. I hope you enjoy exploring the revised version!
