AI-Powered Lesson Design for English Teachers - Book

Create better lessons in less time with the power of AI

Imagine being able to create engaging lesson plans, reading texts, speaking activities, writing tasks, projects, rubrics, images and audio in minutes rather than hours.

AI-Powered Lesson Design for English Teachers is a practical guide that shows you exactly how to do it.

Written by award-winning teacher trainer and materials writer Nik Peachey, this book gives you a complete toolkit of tried-and-tested prompt templates that help you use generative AI to create high-quality teaching materials tailored to the needs of your own learners.

Whether you're teaching young learners, teenagers, adults, exam classes or Business English, you'll discover practical ways to design lessons that are more engaging, more personalised and much quicker to produce.

Designed for real teachers

This isn't a book about the theory of artificial intelligence.

It's a practical, hands-on guide written by a teacher for teachers.

Every chapter introduces a different type of classroom material, provides an editable prompt template, demonstrates how it works with real examples, and then challenges you to adapt it for your own teaching. As you work through the book, you'll build a personal library of prompts that you can continue to use and improve long after you've finished reading.

Just as importantly, you'll learn how to evaluate, refine and improve AI-generated content so that your teaching materials always reflect your professional judgement and your learners' needs.

Inside the book you'll learn how to create:

• Complete lesson plans
• Reading texts and parallel texts
• Classroom activities and worksheets
• Homework and independent learning tasks
• Assessment rubrics and model answers
• Communication sequences and dialogues
• Plays, songs and poems
• Vocabulary activities and glossaries
• Project-based learning materials
• Interactive branching scenarios
• AI-generated images for teaching
• Audio resources and listening materials

Suitable for teachers at every stage

Whether you're completely new to AI or already experimenting with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity, this book provides a clear pathway to creating better teaching materials with confidence.

It's equally valuable for classroom teachers looking to personalise their lessons and for professional materials writers who want to speed up their workflow without compromising quality.

Put AI to work for your teaching

The best teaching materials are those that reflect the interests, abilities and needs of your learners. AI can help you create them faster—but your experience, creativity and professional judgement make them truly effective.

AI-Powered Lesson Design for English Teachers will show you how to combine the best of both.
