This book has been designed to act as a practical resource that should help you to get a better understanding of the kinds of AI tools that are available and how to use them in the English language classroom.
This lesson is designed to enable learners to use two AI prompts. One will enable an AI chatbot to become their English-speaking friend. It will ask them questions appropriate to their age and level and help them if they get stuck. The second prompt will enable the chatbot to create activities based around their level and the topic of their choice.

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be turning the education world upside down. We are hearing many claims – some of them exaggerated – both for and against its use in education. To help us better understand and use AI as language teachers, I'd like to take a balanced look at some of the challenges and potential benefits it can offer us and our learners.

Here's an article I wrote for the British Council's TeachingEnglish website.
Since the emergence of ChatGPT in November 2022 there has been a huge shift towards the production of apps and tools powered by AI and large language models. These tools offer teachers and students a confusing range of options and opportunities and educators are faced with complex decisions around how, when and whether to implement this technology.
In our increasingly polarized world, competition and confrontation have seemingly taken priority over collaboration and understanding. In this presentation, Nik Peachey shares a range of techniques you can use to help your students develop the skills they need to navigate our progressively complex society.
Traditionally, we have thought of literacy as the ability to communicate through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. But in our digital age, we are as likely to use video, images audio and even gestures as modes of communication. The ability to understand and share information through a combination of these modes is known as multimodal literacy.

Very proud to have worked on this white paper and toolkit.
Let’s take advantage of this new technology and see how we can use it for flipped learning. In this session, I'll introduce several techniques that can help students develop their autonomous learning skills so that they can work more effectively in pairs and small groups. I’ll also be sharing a range of prompts that students can submit to ChatGPT in order to turn it into an English-speaking friend, a Socratic teacher, and even a time machine that can drop them into a scene from Star Wars or a classroom at Hogwarts.

Abstract: In this presentation, we will be looking at the potential of a range of AI powered tools to transform the work we do in the classroom and to help our learners develop in a way that is both more effective and more closely adapted to their needs and interests. In the session, I will share with you a pedagogically sound approach to utilising tools like ChatGPT and explore some of the issues that these technologies raise. The focus of the session will be on how to make your job easier and how to make lessons more creative and engaging.
In an era of digital transformation, language teachers face a new realm of possibilities. Introducing "ChatGPT in the Language Classroom," a comprehensive guide crafted specifically for educators seeking to revolutionize their teaching practices. With over 50 meticulously curated lessons and spanning across 259 pages, this book is a treasure trove of insights, resources, and strategies designed to enhance language learning experiences and empower teachers to elevate their skills.
Through the lesson, students find out more about white privilege by watching a short video, and they hear some people sharing their views about white privilege. They use techniques from dialogue building to explore the person’s beliefs in a neutral way. They then find out about the beliefs of their peers by asking open questions and listening.
This lesson plan enables learners to develop a deeper understanding of what AI is and how it is developing. During the lesson, learners will develop AI-related vocabulary to discuss their opinions about AI, watch a short video about different types of AI and finally make predictions about what AI will be able to do in the future.Lesson outcomesAll learners will:
This lesson plan enables learners to explore some of the issues, risks and benefits of AI and how it can be used to help them develop their language skills. During the lesson students will brainstorm vocabulary they associate with AI, read about and discuss some potential risks and benefits of AI, listen to people talking about the impact of AI on education and try out some ideas for using AI to develop their English skills

Here's a free lesson plan I developed for the British Council's TeachingEnglish website.
Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking are no longer enough. Today, successful communication involves pictures, videos, presentations, and other multimedia – so our students need to develop their multimodal literacy. Watch this session and learn what multimodal literacy is, why it's important, and how to support it – as well as a range of practical activities to use in your classroom!
One question that I constantly get asked is whether artificial intelligence can replace teachers. It’s an interesting question and one that I think about a lot, so I thought I’d put together a list of 10 great things about human teachers and 10 great things about AI teachers and share a few insights about what might change over the next few months or years. So let’s start with the human teachers.

Creativity in Digital Learning and Teaching (Nik Peachey) Creativity is not only an essential feature of language use, but it will be a key skill for employability over the coming decade. With classrooms moving progressively towards more online delivery, how can we ensure that we don’t lose one of the most fulfilling and engaging aspects of learning?
