language chunks – AI in ELT

Chunk enriched texts

This time I am going to share how we can use Claude live in class to first generate short text messages and then create chunk-enriched versions in order to raise awareness of common formulaic language typical of text messages. Next, we would encourage our students to write their own messages, incorporating this useful language.

Chunk chain

This is a variation of the popular language game Word Chain, where players take turns saying words, with each new word starting with the last letter of the previous word. In this Gen.AI-assisted version, students will take turns competing against Gen. AI (this time I will be using Claude) with a focus on language chunks.
