Leveraging AI-Driven ChatGPT for Pedagogical Personalization

Abstract

This article explores how AI-powered tools like generative AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, can transform tailored instruction during the Special Assistance hour (7th-hour) at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center. I share how I have used ChatGPT to create interactive, relevant materials, including grammar and vocabulary exercises and comprehension activities tailored to individual learning needs. By providing strategies for crafting precise and pedagogically sound prompts, the article highlights how instructors can optimize Generative AI (GenAI) tools to create customized interventions that enhance engagement and student success.
