the delta: what moves your picture
#1 Using AI to draft two or three ways of teaching the same lesson for different learners, then checking each version against the real comprehension gaps in your classroom before teaching it
In MA in TESOL & Applied Linguistics' own task ledger, Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education's "Instruct through lectures, discussions, and demonstrations in one or more…" rates exposed and Elementary School Teacher, Except Special Education's "Instruct students individually and in groups, using teaching methods such as…" rates augmented; 1 of the 2 matched rows here rates augmented and 1 rates exposed. Checking each lesson variant against the real comprehension gaps in your classroom is what keeps differentiation aimed at your actual students. first step: CAST: UDL Guidelines · free · ~25 min
#2 Using AI to draft test items or homework problems, then checking each one against the actual standard or objective it's supposed to measure before assigning it
Among MA in TESOL & Applied Linguistics' matched ledger rows, Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education's "Prepare, administer, and grade tests and assignments to evaluate students'…" rates augmented; all 2 matched rows here rate augmented. Checking each item against the actual standard it's supposed to measure is what keeps a test honest about what it's testing. first step: Institute of Education Sciences: What Works Clearinghouse Practice Guides · free · ~20 min
#3 Using AI/machine translation for a first pass, then checking meaning, tone, and terminology against the source before it's delivered
Looking at the roles MA in TESOL & Applied Linguistics feeds into, Translator / localization specialist's "Translate messages simultaneously or consecutively into specified languages,…" rates augmented; the one matched row here rates augmented. Checking a machine translation against the source sentence by sentence is what keeps meaning intact. first step: European Commission Knowledge Centre on Translation and Interpretation: Revision and Post-Editing · free · ~10 min
* THE HONESTY BOX
“not cooked” ≠ “nothing changes.” 13 of your 27 charted tasks already run with AI in the loop, and 2 tasks have no source at all: marked unlisted, not estimated. this slip shows only what we could source; where studies disagree, we print both. nobody can promise outcomes; anyone who does is selling something.

Task-level AI evidence on this page is largely US-scoped research; local pay and market context differ.
