Abstract

This study presents an instructional design framework that integrates artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, into A1-level German language teaching. The proposed model is grounded in a structured, task-based, and constructivist pedagogical approach that guides teachers and learners through the systematic design of AI-assisted lessons. The design emphasizes the methodological organization of instructional steps and introduces a coherent five-stage framework outlining prompts, student actions, and teacher roles. Building on principles of scaffolding, the model reconceptualizes support as a form of digital scaffolding, where ChatGPT provides step-by-step linguistic guidance tailored to beginner learners. This structure enhances learners’ autonomy and personalization while maintaining teacher mediation, which remains central to the instructional process. By incorporating text-linguistic insights from the outset, the model ensures cohesive, replicable, and pedagogically sound lesson design. Its structured and text-linguistic design also makes the model adaptable to various languages and proficiency levels.

Özet

Bu çalışma, yapay zekâ destekli dil öğretimi bağlamında ChatGPT’nin A1 düzeyinde Almanca ders tasarımına nasıl sistematik biçimde entegre edilebileceğini ortaya koyan bir öğretim tasarımı modeli sunmaktadır. Model, tasarım temelli araştırma yaklaşımına dayanan beş aşamalı bir çerçeveye dayanmaktadır. Her aşama, sözcük bilgisi, cümle düzeyi, dilbilgisi ve metin düzeyi boyutlarını kapsayan metindilbilimsel bir bakış açısıyla yapılandırılmıştır. Makalede, kısa mesajlar aracılığıyla “davet etme ve reddetme” göstergesi etrafında tasarlanan bir haftalık örnek ders planı ayrıntılı biçimde betimlenmektedir. Beş günlük etkinlik tabloları, yapay zekâ destekli görevlerin nasıl yapılandırılabileceğini, dijital scaffolding’in nasıl kurgulandığını ve öğretmen–öğrenci rollerinin nasıl dağıtıldığını göstermektedir. Tartışma bölümünde modelin, başlangıç düzeyinde bütüncül dil gelişimini, bireyselleştirilmiş geri bildirimi, sınıf içi farklılaştırmayı ve metindilbilimsel farkındalığı destekleme potansiyeli vurgulanmakta; kültürel uyum, teknik sınırlılıklar ve öğretmen aracılığının devam eden önemi gibi bağlamsal konular ele alınmaktadır. Gelecek araştırmaların, modelin farklı dillerde ve bağlamlarda sınıf içi uygulanabilirliğini incelemesi ve tasarımın öğrenen çıktıları üzerindeki etkisini ampirik olarak test etmesi önerilmektedir.
