I use stories from British Council mainly for conversation. There are also short mystery stories by Sherlock Holmes. I will show a pod-cast and prepare questions for the students to participate. I also give some general knowledge quizzes.
Daily news Subscribe to sites such as Pinterest, ESL Games, but also engage your students to contribute to what their interests are.
Hello, I use chatgpt to view different articles and to write about anything. Furthermore, if you do not want to use chatgpt, google is always ready to help you. Also you can use spinbot to rephrase sentences or even paragraphs in easy language which are easy to understand, if you are unable to understand difficult words. I hope that you'll make your work easier by using these softwares. Thank you!

I personally use ChatGPT to make up scenarios and then discuss which tenses we're written in the articles that ChatGPT created. AI can be used in such a beneficial way, and students really seem to enjoy it, and in that sense, you can cater to the individual need of each student. Let's say your student really loves a book series, you could ask ChatGPT to (insert student name) into a chapter of that book, and make the student read out the passage from a page that they were inserted into as a character. That way you test their reading ability and the ability to pronounce more complex words. Or let's say you make ChatGPT write a more simplified version of the page passage, that way it is easier for them to comprehend what you're trying to teach them.
