Case Study: Exam success with corrected.ai Maria, director of a mid-sized language centre in Greece, once insisted on personally marking every student essay. Writing assessments are the most complex component of Cambridge B2 First and C1 Advanced exams, and Maria was concerned about consistency. Each month she corrected
A new school year always comes with its own set of questions. Which coursebook? Which exam class needs the most attention? This September, though, the question I keep hearing from colleagues is a bigger one: should we be using AI with our students at all? It's a fair
We started this series with a question: what happens to a teacher's income when AI takes over the repetitive parts of the job? Since then, we've looked at where the opportunities are. We've looked at the platforms. We've looked at the smallest
If you’ve been reading about AI and teaching, you might be thinking: “This sounds interesting… but I don’t see how this applies to me.” Or more honestly: “I don’t have time to figure this out.” “I’m not good with technology.” “This might work somewhere else, but
Most of us EFL teachers have been working in roughly the same way for years. A full schedule of classes. Evenings spent correcting writing. Weekends preparing materials. Income tied directly to hours worked - and I do have a lot to say about how underpaid teachers are, but I’ll save
Artificial intelligence (AI) is in all our lives to stay. AI is also rapidly reshaping language education, and for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers this shift is not only pedagogical but also professional. The same technologies that are transforming how students learn English are also changing how we
Every exam has its own character — and the LRN (Learning Resource Network) exam is no exception. It rewards clear communication, appropriate tone, and well-developed ideas rather than linguistic fireworks. For teachers, that means guiding students to write with control, structure, and confidence — and doing so efficiently within tight preparation
The Cambridge C2 Proficiency (CPE) exam is just around the corner, and at this level, every word matters. Success depends not only on language accuracy but also on style, organisation, and sophistication of argument. Preparing C2 candidates means helping them write with precision, confidence, and academic maturity. Let’s look
A new school year is always a moment full of fresh energy and hopes for a better new year. And this is indeed a great opportunity for us to enter the classroom with new ideas, fresh materials, and the revived determination to help our students succeed. Yet the reality of
This was my talk at the International Publishers Exhibition in Greece, Spring 2025 Introduction I would like to open a conversation about AI in education and teachers’ challenges around integrating it in their practice. I hope this to be an interactive session, a discussion. Imagine your ideal classroom. Mine would
Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands apart from other digital technologies due to its profound potential to reshape societies, economies, and educational landscapes. This alone has made many of us hesitant, even fearful, to integrate it into our teaching. Unlike traditional ICTs, AI introduces distinct ethical and social concerns. Its unique capacity
I'm sure we've all had some ingenious students in the past, who would find some relevant texts in English online and copied it verbatim, presenting it as theirs. Catching this kind of plagiarism was manageable, mostly because it would happen rarely and because the copied text
