ChatGPTの有料化のニュースがTweet界で走っているが、それはそれとして、中学校で過去形を教えるレッスンに相応しいCLIL的な活動としてどういうのがあるか考える機会があった。まずはヒントとなる活動をと思い、ChatGPTに聞いた。以下、全会話をそのまま記録して残してみる（なお、このChatGPTとの会話は5〜10分程度で行われていて、むしろ、このブログで見やすいように整えるのに、相も変わらず30分程度時間がかかっている）。
Can you think of CLIL learning task for second language class to ask students to talk about the past?
ChatGPT:
Sure! Here is a sample task that incorporates Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) for a second language class:Task: "Memories from the past"
- Objective: To practice using past tense verbs and vocabulary related to personal experiences.
- Instructions: Ask students to think of a significant event or experience from their past.

ここまで聞いたところで、Graphic Organizerとして5W1Hを書かせて、いつどこで誰と何をしたかと言わせる活動がいいなあと思った。ただ、この１つの活動だけでは生徒が飽きると思ったので、さらに活動を追加してもらう。

これ、Worksheetがあるといいなあと思ったので、Worksheetと生徒のヒントになるように具体例を作ってくれよと無茶振りしてみる（笑）。
Thank you. Is it possible to provide worksheets for four tasks you provided with example anecdotes?
ChatGPT:
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model I don't have the ability to create worksheets or handouts. However, I can provide an example anecdote for each of the four tasks to give you an idea of how you could use these in your lessons:Task 1: "Past Holidays"
- Example anecdote: "I went on a holiday to Greece last year. I went with my family and we stayed in a hotel by the beach. We spent most of our time swimming in the sea and sunbathing. We also took a ferry to an island and went on a hike to see the famous blue domed church. I loved the beautiful scenery and the delicious food. The only thing I didn't like was that it was very crowded. I would love to go back to Greece again someday."
Task 2: "Childhood Memories"
- Example anecdote: "One of my favorite childhood memories is when I went camping with my family. We went to a national park and pitched our tent by a lake. Every day we went on a hike, fishing and had campfire meals. I remember the stars at night were so bright and I had never seen anything like that before. I also made friends with other kids at the campground and we had a great time playing together. It was a magical experience that I will never forget."
Task 3: "Past Jobs"
- Example anecdote: "I worked as a waiter in a restaurant for two years. I enjoyed the fast-paced environment and the chance to interact with customers. I also learned a lot about different types of food and drinks. The only thing I didn't like was the long hours on my feet and the low pay. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work there."
Task 4: "Memories from the past"
- Example anecdote: "One of my most memorable experiences was when I went skydiving for the first time. I was very nervous, but the experience was amazing. I loved the feeling of free-falling and the stunning views from above. I went with a group of friends and we all had a great time. I will never forget that day and I hope to do it again someday."
I hope these anecdotes give you an idea of how you can use these tasks in your lessons and encourage your students to use past tense verbs and vocabulary related to their personal experiences.
Worksheetは無理っすよ！とのことだったが、具体例は出してくれた。ただ、３番目は中学生ではバイトはあまり体験ないと思ったので、家事手伝いに変更してもらう。
Can you change the anecdote for task 3 as the "Past Housework" the child did?
ChatGPT:
Certainly! Here's an updated anecdote for Task 3, "Past Housework":Task 3: "Past Housework"
- Example anecdote: "When I was younger, I used to help my parents with housework every weekend. My favorite task was doing the laundry. I loved sorting the clothes into piles and watching the clothes spin in the washing machine. I also enjoyed folding the clean clothes and putting them away. The only thing I didn't like was ironing. But overall, I felt proud to help out and it taught me the importance of keeping a clean and tidy home."
ちょっと英文レベルを落として欲しかったので、小２用に書き直すようにお願いした。

ChatGPT:
Of course! Here are the retellings of the four anecdotes for a 2nd-grade audience:Task 1: "Past Holidays"
- Retelling: "Once, I went on a trip to Greece with my family. We stayed by the sea and went swimming and sunbathing. We also took a boat to an island and hiked to see a pretty church with blue roofs. I liked the pretty views and yummy food. The only thing I didn't like was that there were too many people. I hope to go back to Greece again soon."

I hope these retellings are suitable for a 2nd-grade audience and help to make the anecdotes more accessible and engaging for younger students.
思考ツールを使うとよさそうやねと思ったので、どれがいいか聞いてみる（いい加減自分で考えた方がいいかもしれないが、考えてもらった方が速いと思ったので、そのまま続行）。とりあえず、知ってる？と軽くジャブ。
Arigato! By the way, do you know graphic organisers?
ChatGPT:
Yes, I am familiar with graphic organizers! A graphic organizer is a visual tool used to help people understand and organize information. They often take the form of diagrams, charts, or outlines and can be used in many different subjects, including language arts, social studies, and science. Graphic organizers can help students to identify relationships between ideas, categorize information, and see the big picture, making it easier for them to understand and remember what they have learned. Some common types of graphic organizers include Venn diagrams, flow charts, concept maps, mind maps, and T-charts.
Graphic Organiser知ってますがな！ということだったので、どれ使えばいいん？と聞いてみた。
Which graphic organiser is suitable for the tasks you provided?
ChatGPT:
Here are some suggestions for graphic organizers that could be used for each of the four tasks I provided:Task 1: "Past Holidays"
- A flow chart showing the events of the holiday trip, from departure to return
- A mind map that branches out from the central idea of the holiday, including details about where you went, what you did, and what you liked/didn't like
- A T-chart that compares the good and bad aspects of the holiday
Task 2: "Childhood Memories"
- A timeline that shows the events of the camping trip in order
- A Venn diagram that compares the camping trip to other trips or experiences you have had

- A T-chart that compares the good and bad aspects of skydiving
These are just a few suggestions, and there are many other graphic organizers that could be used to support students in organizing and understanding information about the past. The most important thing is to choose a graphic organizer that is appropriate for the task and that helps the students to understand and remember the information.
ついでだから、評価Rubricの案も考えてもらう。結果としては、もちろん手直しが必要だが、時短にはなると思った。

最後に書かせる活動もさせたかったので、話す活動と書く活動は評価するときに何が違うか聞いてみる。すると当然ながらこのような答え。
Thank you very much. Well, after letting them speak about the past, I'd like them to write what they said as a writing task. What is the biggest difference between the oral and writing tasks in terms of assessment?
ChatGPT:
The biggest difference between the oral and writing tasks in terms of assessment lies in the way that language skills are evaluated. In an oral task, the focus is often on pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. In a writing task, the focus is typically on grammar, vocabulary, and writing conventions.
In terms of the assessment criteria, some of the key differences might include:
- Pronunciation and Fluency: These are more important in an oral task, where students are expected to speak in a way that is easily understood by their peers and teacher. In a writing task, these factors are less important.
- Grammar and Vocabulary: These are more important in a writing task, where students are expected to demonstrate their understanding of grammar rules and vocabulary through their writing. In an oral task, grammar may still be assessed, but the focus is usually on fluency and comprehension.
- Writing Conventions: In a writing task, students are expected to demonstrate their understanding of writing conventions, such as punctuation, capitalization, and formatting. These are less important in an oral task, where the focus is on speaking fluently and clearly.
- Organization and Cohesion: In a writing task, students are expected to organize their writing into a clear and logical structure, and to use cohesive devices, such as transitional words and phrases, to link ideas together. In an oral task, these factors are still important, but the focus is usually on fluency and comprehension.
- Overall, while both oral and writing tasks aim to evaluate language skills, the specific criteria used in each type of task will differ depending on the focus of the task and the goals of the assessment.
このようにChatGPTは割と当たり前のことを言ってくる。ただ教師としては、この会話で得たものをどう料理するかに時間を取ることが可能になる。１から始めるより楽だ。しかし、相変わらずマジで時短になるな、これ・・・。
今日はこんなところです。
