Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. Formal Letters – Beginning and
Ending
• There are two ways to begin a formal
letter:
• Dear Sir/Madam (when you don’t know the name)
• Dear Mr Smith (name of person)
• If you begin your letter, ‘Dear Sir/Madam
you must end it, ‘Yours faithfully,’
• If you begin your letter ‘Dear Mr Smith,’
you must end it, ‘Yours sincerely,’
• These are the rules of formal letters in
English – there are no exceptions!
5. Formal Language
• Formal letters use formal language.
• What does this mean?
• No contractions (don’t/can’t/I’ll etc).
• No informal expressions (Why don’t we…/Did you
know that…/Write soon!/Love…/What’s up?/I’d love to!).
• No informal punctuation (!/…/( )/ - ).
• No phrasal verbs (pick up/look up/get over/turn on
etc.)
6. Formal Language
• Use formal linking words to make our
writing more cohesive: (Moreover/Furthermore/
Therefore)
• Use modal verbs in formal expressions:
(could/would/should)
• Use formal adjectives instead of informal
adjectives: (‘pleasant’ not ‘nice’/’pleased’ not
‘happy’/’enjoyable’ not ‘fun’ – and definitely not ‘funny’!)
• Use polite language (I would be interested in/ I
hope that you will consider my application / I look forward to
hearing from you soon).
7. Letter of Application - Job
• Look at this advertisement:
• How would you apply for this job?
WANTED
Young people with enthusiasm to
work as helpers at a summer
camp. Must speak two languages
and enjoy working with children.
8. First Paragraph
• Say why you are writing.
• Say what job you are applying for.
• Say where/when you saw it advertised (you
can invent this).
WANTED
Young people with enthusiasm to
work as helpers at a summer
camp. Must speak two languages
and enjoy working with children.
9. First Paragraph
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of camp helper which was
advertised in last Sunday’s ‘English Times’.
• Which of these is the best introduction?
Dear Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of camp helper which was
advertised in last Sunday’s ‘English Times’.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to apply for the job at your camp which I saw in ‘English
Times’ the other day.
This is a perfect introduction. The writer used ‘Dear
Sir/Madam’ because they did not know the name of the
person they were writing to, avoided any contractions, ‘I
am writing’, not ‘I’m writing’, and stated clearly the
purpose of their letter.
10. First Paragraph
• Which of these is the best introduction?
Dear Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of camp helper which was
advertised in last Sunday’s ‘English Times’.
This is a perfect introduction except for ‘Dear
Manager’. The writer should have put ‘Dear
Sir/Madam because the name of the person
they are writing to is unknown.
11. First Paragraph
• Which of these is the best introduction?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to apply for the job at your camp which I saw in ‘English
Times’ the other day.
This writer has started correctly, ‘Dear
Sir/Madam’, but their introduction is too
informal. You should try to avoid directly
addressing the person you are writing to, ‘your
camp’, and expressions like ‘the other day’ are
very informal.
12. Second Paragraph
• Introduce yourself.
• Say what qualities you have which make
you suitable for the job.
• Give details of your qualifications and
previous experience.
• Make sure you include any details that
are mentioned in the advertisement!

13. Which of these is the best answer?
I am a positive and enthusiastic person and I have always enjoyed working
with children. I have been volunteering at a local camp for the past two
years which has been both challenging and rewarding. I am currently
completing my final year of secondary education and will be starting
university in September. In addition to my native Spanish, I have been
studying English for seven years and have reached a high level.
I’m cheerful and enthusiastic and I love working with children. I’ve
volunteered at a local camp for the past two years which was very funny.
I’ve nearly finished school and am off to university in September. I speak
Spanish and English pretty well.
I am positive, enthusiastic and have experience working with children. I will
finish secondary school and go to university in September. I am a native
Spanish speaker and I also speak English.
This is a good answer. The writer uses appropriate
formal language and addresses key points from the
advertisement – experience of working with children,
two languages, personality details.
14. Which of these is the best answer?
I’m cheerful and enthusiastic and I love working with children. I’ve
volunteered at a local camp for the past two years which was very funny.
I’ve nearly finished school and am off to university in September. I speak
Spanish and English pretty well.
This answer addresses all the points from the
advertisement but it is too informal. Also, ‘funny’ is used
incorrectly!
15. Which of these is the best answer?
I am positive, enthusiastic and have experience working with children. I will
finish secondary school and go to university in September. I am a native
Spanish speaker and I also speak English.
This answer does not give enough detail – the writer
doesn’t say anything about where they got experience
working with children and how they feel about it. The
language is reasonably formal but there are no formal
linking words which would make it more cohesive.
16. Third Paragraph
• Say why you are applying.
• Say why the company should consider
you.
• Sell yourself!
WANTED
Young people with enthusiasm to
work as helpers at a summer
camp. Must speak two languages
and enjoy working with children.
17. Which of these is the best answer?
I would welcome the opportunity to work in a summer camp where I would
be able to practise my English. Furthermore, I have been working with
children for some time and hope to pursue a career in education. Therefore
I believe that a position as a camp helper would be a valuable experience
I would be interested in the summer camp position because it would help
me achieve my goal of becoming a teacher. I could practise my English.
I’d like to work in a summer camp because I love kids and want to be a
teacher. I think that the camp helper job will help a lot with this.
This is a good answer. The writer uses appropriate
formal language and gives good reasons for wanting
the job. Formal linking words give the answer cohesion
and it is a suitable length.
18. Which of these is the best answer?
I would be interested in the summer camp position because it would help
me achieve my goal of becoming a teacher. I could practise my English.
This answer does not give enough detail and although
the language is reasonably formal there are no formal
linking words which would make it more cohesive.
19. Which of these is the best answer?
I’d like to work in a summer camp because I love kids and want to be a
teacher. I think that the camp helper job will help a lot with this.
This answer is too informal and doesn’t give much
information.
