E7 M - Ask AI for feedback on your own text
Einleitung
Mini-Beschreibung: Du schreibst einen kurzen eigenen englischen Text und bittest eine zugelassene KI um gezieltes Feedback zu genau 1–3 Lernzielen. Die KI soll Deinen Text nicht ersetzen. Du prüfst die Rückmeldung, verbesserst selbst und nutzt das Gelernte noch einmal.

Start in English: Look at the picture. What makes a text your text? Think of two answers before you read on.
Viewing first: Watch the short video about AI. Try to catch the main idea before using any help.
- Viewing gist: What can AI do with information?
- Viewing detail: Name one possible benefit and one possible problem.
- Think: Why should you still check AI feedback yourself?
Need a hint? Focus on the words data, patterns, generate and check.
Deutsch nur bei Bedarf: KI kann hilfreiche Vorschläge machen, aber sie kann auch unpassende oder falsche Rückmeldungen geben. Du entscheidest, was Du übernimmst.
I-can-Ziele
By the end, you can say:
- Learning goal: I can choose one to three clear goals for my text.
- Prompt: I can ask an AI for feedback without asking for a replacement text.
- Feedback: I can understand short, specific feedback in English.
- Revision: I can check the feedback and improve my own draft.
- Digital responsibility: I can protect private information and use only an approved AI tool.
Vorwissen
Try first. Answer in English if you can:
- What is useful feedback?
- What is the difference between feedback and a new text?
- Which parts of your writing can you improve: ideas, structure, vocabulary, grammar, spelling or style?
Notice: What useful feedback looks like

Look closely. Feedback does not have to correct everything. Useful feedback points you towards your next step.
Compare:
Too vague: “Good job!”
Too much: “Here is a completely rewritten version.”
Useful: “Your reason is clear. Check the verb after school clubs. Then add one example.”
A good learning prompt tells the AI:
- Goal: what you want to improve.
- Limit: only one to three goals.
- Feedback format: short strength, short hints, one question.
- Ownership: do not rewrite the whole text.
- Safety: no private names, addresses, accounts or personal social-media data.
The feedback loop
Notice → understand → try → use → communicate → feedback → improve → use again

You are the writer. AI is only one feedback tool. Your teacher, classmates, notes and dictionaries can also help.
Listening and Viewing
Watch the British Council video once for the main idea and once for details.
First viewing — gist: What is the main message about improving writing?
Second viewing — detail:
- Which tip could help before you write?
- Which tip could help after your first draft?
- Which tip will you try today?
English hint: Listen for action verbs connected with writing.
German help if needed: Achte beim zweiten Sehen nur auf konkrete Schreibschritte, nicht auf jedes einzelne Wort.
Feedback as a learning action
This video is more challenging. Watch a short part with subtitles if your teacher recommends it.
Focus question: Why is feedback more useful when the writer revises the text afterwards?
Talk to a partner:
- “I think feedback is useful when …”
- “I agree because …”
- “I’m not sure. Could you explain …?”
Reading: A short example
Read this fictional student text.
My school club
I think school clubs are a good idea. They help students meet new people and learn useful skills. Last month I joined the photography club. At first I was nervous, but the group was friendly. We took pictures around the school and compared them later. I enjoyed the activity because I learned how to choose a better angle. In my opinion, every student should try one club for a few weeks.
Do not correct everything at once. Choose one to three learning goals.
Possible goals:
- Structure: clear beginning, middle and ending.
- Linking words: because, but, first, later, in my opinion.
- Tense control: use the simple past clearly for finished events.
- Vocabulary: choose precise words without making the text sound too advanced.
- Reader awareness: make the point easy to follow.
Reading check
Answer in English:
- What is the writer’s opinion?
- Which event happened last month?
- Which sentence gives a reason?
- Which learning goal would you choose first, and why?
Vocabulary in context
| Word | Meaning in this course | Example |
|---|---|---|
| feedback | comments that help you improve | The feedback gives me one clear next step. |
| goal | something you want to improve | My goal is to use linking words clearly. |
| specific | focused and clear | Ask for specific feedback. |
| revise | improve your own draft | I revise my paragraph after checking the advice. |
| rewrite | write a new version | The AI should not rewrite my whole text. |
| accurate | correct and reliable | I check whether the feedback is accurate. |
Mini-challenge: Make one new sentence with specific or revise.
Pronunciation
Say the words in short chunks:
- FEED-back
- im-PROVE
- spe-CIF-ic
- re-WRITE
Aim for clear stress and understandable speech. You do not need to copy one particular accent.
Speaking
Work with a partner. One person is the writer, one is the feedback coach.
Writer: “My learning goals are structure and linking words.”
Coach: “Why did you choose these goals?”
Writer: “Because my ideas are clear, but my paragraph needs better connections.”
Coach: “What kind of feedback do you want?”
Writer: “One strength, two hints and one question. Please do not rewrite my text.”
Then switch roles.
Useful reactions:
- “That makes sense because …”
- “I agree with this point.”
- “I’m not sure this is correct.”
- “Can you give me a simpler hint?”
- “I want to keep my own sentence here.”
Writing: Your own short text
Write 70–110 words in English. Choose one:
- Email: Write a short email to a classmate about a school activity.
- Opinion text: Give your opinion about a simple school rule.
- Story: Write about a small event that changed your day.
- Report: Describe what happened during a class or club activity.
Write your first draft yourself. Do not ask AI to create it.

Step 1: Choose 1–3 learning goals
Pick only what matters now.
Example:
- clear paragraph structure
- useful linking words
- simple past forms
Do not choose every possible goal. Focus makes feedback easier to use.
Step 2: Ask for feedback, not a replacement
Use this model and adapt it:
Prompt model
I wrote this short English text myself. I am in Grade 7 and I am learning English as my first foreign language.
Please give me feedback only on these learning goals: 1. clear structure 2. linking words 3. simple past forms
Do not rewrite my text. Do not give me a complete corrected version. First name one strength. Then give up to three short hints. After that, ask me one question that helps me improve the text myself. Use clear English for Grade 7. If a word is too difficult, explain only that word simply. My text: [insert your short text here]
Important: Use an AI tool only if your teacher or school allows it. Remove names and private details. A fictional text is always possible. Never enter passwords, addresses, private messages or personal social-media data.
Step 3: Check the AI feedback
Ask yourself:
- Goal? Does the feedback really match my chosen learning goals?
- Clear? Do I understand the English?
- Correct? Does the advice fit what I learned in class?
- Useful? Can I make the change myself?
- Mine? Will the new version still sound like my own text?
If one point seems wrong or too advanced, do not use it automatically. Check your notes, a dictionary, a classmate or your teacher.
Step 4: Ask a follow-up question
Good follow-up questions keep the work with you:
- “Which one sentence should I check first? Do not rewrite it.”
- “Can you explain the grammar rule in easier English?”
- “Give me two linking words that could fit. I will choose one.”
- “Why do you think this part is unclear?”
- “Can you point to the problem without correcting the full sentence?”
German help only if needed: Bitte um einen kleineren Hinweis, nicht sofort um eine Übersetzung oder Musterlösung.
Step 5: Revise yourself
Example:
Before: “I think school clubs is good because you can meet new friends and learn skills.”
Possible feedback:
- Strength: Your reason is clear.
- Hint: Check the verb after school clubs.
- Hint: Add a linking word before the second benefit.
Your revision could be: “I think school clubs are useful because you can meet new friends. In addition, you can learn new skills.”
The important point is not this exact sentence. The important point is that you make the decision.
Functional grammar
For this course, grammar supports communication.
Useful language for feedback requests
- “Please check whether my ideas are clear.”
- “Please point out one tense problem.”
- “Please explain the rule, but let me correct the sentence.”
- “Could you give me one simpler hint?”
- “I want to keep my own wording.”
Useful language for reasons
- because
- so
- but
- although
- in addition
- for example
Tense focus: Use the tense that fits your text type. For a finished past event, the simple past is often central.
Controlled E-outlook only: You may meet forms such as “had finished” in later work. Notice the form, but you do not need to use the past perfect in this course.
No passive or reported speech is needed here.
Mini-Transfer
Write a new mini-text of 40–60 words on a different topic. Choose only one learning goal this time.
Ask for one piece of feedback, check it and make one change yourself.
Then explain in English: “I changed … because …”
Mediation optional
Imagine a German-speaking classmate asks: “What is the rule for using AI in this task?”
Explain the rule briefly in German in your own words. Do not translate the whole English course. Your message should include:
- eigener erster Entwurf
- nur 1–3 Lernziele
- keine privaten Daten
- KI-Rückmeldung prüfen
- selbst überarbeiten
Safe and fair use

- Use only a school-approved or teacher-approved AI tool.
- Use fictional names and remove personal information.
- Do not upload classmates’ work, photos, recordings or private messages without permission.
- Recordings are optional and should stay private unless a teacher-approved setting says otherwise.
- AI feedback may be wrong, too difficult or not suitable for your task.
- Your own ideas and decisions stay central.
- Never ask the AI to replace your complete text when the learning goal is writing practice.
