I know that creating a grammar worksheet is probably not best practice, according to the Proficiency-Based Instruction: Teaching Grammar for Proficiency, but I think my creation does hit on some of the “good” practices outlined in the book. #langchat (1/)

AI share: ChatGPT (& likely other AI tools) will take a vocab list & format it into a 2 column spreadsheet in just a click! This is helpful if using Gimkit & other online games, or simply formatting a list into two clear columns. Huge timesaver!Before and after photos below. #langchat #edchat
