AI-enhanced Corpus-based Teaching Material
After a short break, welcome back again, everyone! For today’s blog, I have an interesting and very broad topic. Imagine a corpus, an online database like an imaginary library, and AI, a competent assistant, working hand in hand to create a successful language teaching and learning environment. It is the summary of our new assingment! :)
As groups of three, we created an AI-enhanced, corpus-based teaching material along with a lesson plan based on the ASSURE model for high school students in Turkey.
We chose “quantifiers” as our topic for developing the material. Since it has various components that can be confusing for students, our activity aims to help them understand the topic, practice using a corpus along with AI technology, and come up with language patterns naturally.
The design process was a lot more easier than I expected thanks to Canva. We created a shared file and designed the material by giving feedback and suggestions to each other.
Possible problems that might arise while implementing the material can be limited time or the students’ proficiency level. To address time limitations, teachers can divide the task into several sessions and assign some parts as homework. If learners have difficulty understanding the content, the material can be simplified or the number of questions can be reduced.

FEEDBACK SESSION
After the feedback session, we made some improvements and changes on the material and lesson plan. Based on the feedback, the headings were not suitable for the students, also some questions were not appropriate for their age and proficiency level.
Here are the improved versions:
