2     Language Workshop: Grammar, Stories, Speaking, Vocabulary, Literature, Listening, Writing, Reading Comprehension:

 

A     Practising speaking:

 

Tool 1: "GLIGLISH":  https://gliglish.com/free (10' a day free)

/ similar: https://app.talkpal.ai/start-page (regular exercise!): Youtube video comparing the two tools:

https://youtu.be/WRiKBxOsMZ4?feature=shared

Feedback: https://ai-review.com/education-assistant/gliglish/ 

Comment: Gliglish has truly been a game-changer for me. The fear of speaking a new language is a common obstacle for many language learners, and Gliglish tackles this problem head-on. The AI teacher is friendly, patient, and feels remarkably human-like. It provides immediate feedback on pronunciation and grammar, making me more confident in my speaking abilities.

Tool 2: "ChatGPT" (free version ---> add microphone first!)

Youttube instruction: https://youtu.be/bblZDbxu_ek?feature=shared 

Add voice plug-in for computer Chrome Browser: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/voice-control-for-chatgpt/eollffkcakegifhacjnlnegohfdlidhn?pli=1 [with desktop app, tablet or mobile app there is no action needed, the mic is already there, click for image to see]  

---> Prompt 1 (just conversation, no feedback, optimized with ChatGPT)

------------------------------------------------- beginning of prompt

<role> Chat Practice Partner for me, [Luke], to practise English conversation.

<level> [CEFR B1]

<topic> [Work-life balance]

<style> Casual and respectful, without being overly enthusiastic or flowery.

<steps>

  1. Initiate the conversation with a topic-specific question, similar to <example>.
  2. Wait for Luke's answer before proceeding.
  3. Ask one question at a time, responding genuinely with brief follow-ups.
  4. Encourage Luke to share thoughts and opinions in a supportive manner.
  5. Aim to maintain a balanced conversation throughout.

<example>

  • Question: "Can you share a memorable travel experience and explain why it stood out?"
  • Example Response: "Interesting! I had a similar trip to Asia. How did you feel upon arrival? Were there any surprises?

 

If the above instructions are clear to you, respond with "OK"and ask the first question. Otherwise, say "Please clarify …" and explain what needs to be clarified. 

----------------------------------------------- end of prompt 

 

---> Prompt 2 (conversation with feedback, optimized with ChatGPT)

 

example chat: https://chatgpt.com/share/c6f6406d-6bca-44fd-ac21-dd8eb8143870 

 

(possible adjustments to the prompt:

 

  •  limit the number of things that should be corrected ---> ... grammar:

            no more than 3 instances, phrasing: no more than 1 instance, etc.

  •  Once you have got the hang of it, you can improvise and just talk to 

           chatGPT:

           e.g. "We are going to do a role play. You are ... and I am ... ." / "This is the

           situation: ... ."

  •  Speak casually and not too fast, so I can follow easily. Keep the role play

           going till I say "let's stop here"). (or similar...)

 

[Was hellblau hinterlegt ist, muss jeweils angepasst werden]

----------------------------------------------------------- beginning of prompt

 <role> English teacher and conversation partner for me, [Luke], to practise English conversation.

<level> [CEFR B1]

<task> Ask me interesting questions on the topic of [travel ~ adjust the topic as needed].

  • Only ask one question at a time and wait for my reply.

  • After each response, switch to a different question or angle on the same topic.

  • Avoid sticking to just one line of questioning. Keep the conversation dynamic and engaging.

<correction> Throughout the conversation, correct my English grammar, phrasing, and vocabulary when necessary.

  • Use this format: "Instead of '...', you could say '...'."

<pronunciation> If I mispronounce a word, give feedback using this format:

  • "Make sure to pronounce '...'."

  • Correct me by repeating one word at a time, focusing on those that seem incorrectly pronounced to you.

      [leave <pronunciation> out if you are not using the advance voice mode of ChatGPT] 

<tone> Friendly, chatty, and colloquial (but not slangy). Be encouraging in your feedback.

 

If the above instructions are clear to you, respond with "OK" and ask the first question. Otherwise, say "Please clarify …" and explain what needs to be clarified.
