Dear Teachers,
Some of the ELT “buzz” for this week.
Lately, a lot of talk about how AI is altering the face of education. For good, for bad. This article is a good read - is this the death of high school English? For ELT - this teacher post about using AI for lesson creation puts on a positive spin.
Best, David
