As educators, we've all been there: spending hours marking the same grammatical errors, watching students struggle with English as an additional language, and wondering how to give more personalised feedback without burning out. This AI proofreading prompt offers a solution that's both pedagogically sound and practically brilliant.
How the Prompt Works
Unlike generic AI tools that simply rewrite student work (hello, academic integrity issues!), this prompt is specifically designed to teach rather than do. Students begin by customising the prompt with two crucial pieces of information: their course level and native language. This personalisation is key – it allows the AI to identify L1 (their native language) interference patterns, those sneaky errors that occur when students unconsciously apply grammar rules from their first language to English.
Once customised, students copy the prompt into any free AI platform, upload their work, and receive detailed feedback that highlights specific errors, explains why they're incorrect, and suggests corrections. The prompt explicitly instructs the AI not to rewrite the text, maintaining academic integrity whilst providing targeted support.
Why This Works for Your Students
The magic lies in the comprehensive error categories built into the prompt. It checks everything from basic spelling and punctuation to complex issues like homophones (there/their/they're), false friends, unnatural collocations, and appropriate academic register.
For travel and aviation students writing reports, customer service communications, or safety documentation, these elements are crucial.
Importantly, the prompt requires British English conventions – essential for students studying in the UK or working with British-based airlines and travel companies.
The Ethical AI Advantage
This approach teaches students to use AI as a learning tool, not a shortcut. They receive positive feedback alongside corrections, building confidence whilst developing independent proofreading skills. Students learn to recognise their own error patterns, making them stronger writers in the long term.
