  AI Prompt Craft

  This session explores how ESOL teachers can harness generative AI to create tailored resources that reflect their own professional expertise. Rather than replacing teachers, AI can act as a flexible tool to support planning, adapt materials for different levels, and generate bespoke activities that respond to learners’ needs. Together we’ll look at practical strategies for prompt writing, ways to maintain control over the output, and examples of how AI can complement – not compete with – the creativity and knowledge teachers already bring to their classrooms
