The AI English Teacher
By John Dolman
TLDR
Open to the technology, sceptical of the sales pitch: every tool and study gets a practitioner's read, with the hype stripped out.
English and media teacher John Dolman writes from a UK secondary classroom about bringing AI into planning and teaching — AI-fluency lessons for sixth-formers, hands-on tests of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, and sharp pushback on headlines that overstate what the research actually says.
