ChatGPT for ESL/EFL Writing

Yazan:

 ChatGPT by OpenAI is a language model-based chatbot. It uses generative pre-trained transformer technology which is a part of the large language model (LLM) in machine learning. It means that the artificial intelligence trains itself using language entries provided by developers and users. The version I will be presenting is ChatGPT 3.5.



Although ChatGPT can be used for a near-infinite number of reasons, it can also be utilized as a tool in EFL and ESL writing. To use this tool, the user simply needs to provide prompts for the tool. More simply, write on the chatbox about anything. Then, the language model will generate a response to your sentence and the conversation will go on.



When it comes to how someone can utilize this tool for a specific purpose as EFL/ESL writing, ChatGPT can be used for a variety of purposes such as providing random prompts, giving feedback, correcting, providing vocabulary, engaging in an academic debate conversation with students, and many other things. Outside the classroom, It can give peer feedback to students and provide them with ideas. In the classroom, it can also do many things. You could ask GPT to give students a random topic to write about, or you could ask GPT to write something for you, a story as an example, and ask students to continue the story. As an example, GPT could provide a setting, theme, characters, or vocabulary for students to write a story about. If I was conducting a lesson using ChatGPT, I would play a story continuation game with ChatGPT in the classroom. It would work like this. I would message ChatGPT to write me a story first then continue the rest of the story based on my imagination with one sentence. I would ask each student to come up to the board and write one sentence for GPT. It would continue as GPT's response, the student's response, GPT's response, and another student's response until each student has contributed to the story. Students are very interested in artificial intelligence nowadays and most students also enjoy playing story continuation games in the classroom, therefore I think this would be a fun and interactive way of using this tool in a writing classroom.

Hello everyone!!! I'm Ayça. This is my first blog post on Blogger. I'm 22 years old and currently studying ELT at Yeditepe University. This is my fifth year at Yeditepe.  I hope I will be graduated by the end of this year. Last year I worked as an English teacher in a language course for 3 months and also worked as a Barista in a coffee shop for 3 months. Working while studying improved my experience of working and being responsible for my tasks and responsibilities. I am looking forward to experiencing more in my internship this year. In my high school years, I lived in Bursa and I moved to Istanbul to study at university. I am planning to remain in Istanbul in the future but I might consider new opportunities too. Currently, my priority is my school and internship. In addition to my priorities, I also want to apply to a French course and learn French. Rather than talking about my academic life and goals, I also like to draw, model clay, and watch movies as personal hobbies. S

I found a scene from ''The Office'' series on YouTube which has the option to show subtitles as well. Using scenes from movies or TV shows like ''The Office'' could be used with older learners like high school students or adults.  1- What is the reaction of the employees when the fire alarm goes off? 2-  Describe Michael Scott's approach to handling the fire drill. How does he take charge of the situation? 3-  Pay attention to the dialogue during the scene. Can you identify any lines or quotes that stand out to you as particularly humorous? 4-   How do the characters discuss and react to the events that transpired? 5-  How does the fire drill impact the relationships between the characters in the office?
