Description
Review AI and ed-tech tools for English learning
- Evaluate English learning apps, AI tutors, speaking tools, reading platforms, assessment tools, and classroom support tools.
- Assess whether tool features are appropriate for 11–15-year-old EFL learners.
- Review tools for language level, cultural relevance, usability, teacher dependency, feedback quality, and classroom fit.
- Identify where tools genuinely support learning versus where they only appear engaging.
Design classroom models using technology
- Develop structured classroom routines showing what the teacher does, what the student does, and what the technology does.
- Design tech-supported lesson flows for speaking (and later listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, and basic writing)
- Create models that work even when the teacher has limited English proficiency.
- Ensure classroom designs are realistic for low-resource school environments.
Define pedagogical and product requirements
- Translate English learning needs into clear feature requirements for ed-tech partners or product teams.
- Identify required scaffolding, such as Urdu support, audio modeling, pronunciation feedback, sentence frames, repetition, teacher dashboards, and offline access.
- Advise on which skills should be taught by the teacher, supported by the app, assessed by AI, or practiced through peer/classroom activities.
- Support the development of briefs, rubrics, pilots, and evaluation criteria for external vendors.
Support curriculum and assessment alignment
- Align technology-enabled activities with the organization’s English learning goals, CEFR expectations, and grade-level competencies.
- Help map student progression from basic exposure to functional spoken and written English.
- Support the design of formative assessments for speaking, listening, reading, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
- Ensure learning activities are appropriately scaffolded for students with weak literacy and limited prior exposure to English.
Create teacher support materials
- Develop teacher guides, scripts, facilitation notes, classroom routines, and training materials.
- Design guidance that helps teachers lead English practice confidently without needing to be fluent English speakers.
- Create simple instructions, prompts, and classroom management routines for technology-supported English classes.
Pilot support and learning
- Support the planning and observation of pilots using English learning apps or AI tools.
- Analyze classroom observations, teacher feedback, student usage, and early learning indicators.
- Recommend changes to classroom design, tool configuration, teacher training, or product requirements based on pilot evidence
Required Skills
- Strong understanding of EFL/ESL pedagogy.

- Strong instructional design skills.
- Ability to simplify complex pedagogy into practical classroom routines.
- Strong communication and documentation skills.
- Comfort working with ambiguity, pilots, prototypes, and evolving product ideas.
- Sensitivity to multilingual, low-resource, and teacher-capacity-constrained contexts
