Theschoolyear is about to start, and I’ve decided that it’s a good time to share my favorite AI tools for online English teaching.
Tome: creates presentations from scratch and supplies them with AI-generated illustrations. For example, you can generate a presentation about a grammar topic with explanations and examples just in a few seconds using the right prompt.
D-ID’s virtual presenters: if you teach reading, you can impersonalize a character using an AI-animated image. My students loved it when we studied Shakespeare’s texts. We could animate a characters from the play and decide how they speak and what they say using the tool.
If you teach online, Fanthom for Zoom is great, because it records the lesson and creates lesson notes in an editable document that can be used by the students.
Quillionz: This is a unique AI tool that helps teachers create questions, quizzes, and other educational content in a matter of seconds. Just input a few keywords or key concepts, and the platform will generate a range of question types (e.g. multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blanks, etc.) that can be used for assessments or classroom activities.
And last, but not least, my all-time favourite QuillBot: a paraphrasing tool that helps users rewrite or rephrase sentences, paragraphs, or articles. It is designed to make the process of rewording text easier and faster while maintaining the original meaning. I love it because it also explains what it does and gives grammar references if required.
