Platform: ProgressMe AI, Speechify, and other voiceover generators
Example:
a) if you like creating quests or games in PowerPoint, you can create a voiceover for your characters (kids will love it!)
b) if you want to transform a text into a listening exercise, ProgressMe AI offers this function. Additionally, you can change the accent and the gender of the speaker.
Platform: Midjourney, Stable Diffusion (has negative prompts: what you don’t want to see in the picture), DALL-E-2, Lexica, Wombo.art, dream.ai, This art does not exist
The opportunities here are endless, so we will give you some ideas on how you can use such tools:
a) to work on grammar or vocabulary on an elementary level:
for example, description of parts of the body (long ears, a big nose, small eyes, a fluffy tail, etc.) or description of colors, animals vocabulary, grammar construction “do you like?”
b) to work on grammar with more advanced students:
for example: what if characters from the TV show “Wednesday” were a little bit different? You could use the images on the left to work with the Second Conditional based on the images with the characters. Something about each character is changed, for example, Wednesday is only wearing white. Students have to continue the sentences using the correct grammar.
If Enid were a vampire, she would sleep in a coffin.
If Eugene were a footballer, he would be sporty and fit.
If Bianca were a bookworm, she wouldn't be so popular among the students at Nevermore.
c) another idea:
“New jobs that will exist in 2050” to work on the grammar structure it’s highly likely / unlikely that…. or to spark some debate!
Some other ideas that feature Image Generators:
Guess the Prompt: show an AI-generated image to your students and ask them to come up with a string of text/prompt that would likely produce that specific image.
Prompt Contest: have your students come up with 'wonderfully weird' prompts using their target vocabulary. The prompt that results in the most interesting image wins.
Picture Prompt Storytelling: pair up or split students into small teams. One player starts by providing a written prompt or sentence, and the AI text-to-image tool generates an image based on that prompt. The next player must continue the story by writing the next part based on the image. The game can go back and forth, with each player using the AI-generated image as inspiration to create the next part of the story.
Guess the Scenario: ask students to make a written description of a scenario, such as a specific location, event, or situation. The other students then have to guess the scenario based on the generated image.
ImagineAI: have students describe a poem, lyrics, idioms, etc., in a way that the AI text-to-image tool can generate an accurate representation.
