St. Gallen, Switzerland, March, 2025 – Avallain, a leader in educational technology, reinforces its commitment to research-driven, AI-enhanced education with the release of ‘Teaching with GenAI’: a new independent report commissioned by Avallain and produced by Oriel Square Limited. This research examines the potential of GenAI to support schools and educators, focusing on its ability to enhance lesson preparation, creativity and efficiency while maintaining pedagogical quality.
New GenAI Report Offers Critical Insights for Teachers
The report, ‘Teaching with GenAI: Insights on Productivity, Creativity, Quality and Safety’, presents a comprehensive analysis of AI’s role in education, providing valuable insights into current use, attitudes and challenges. The findings confirm that GenAI offers significant time-saving benefits for teachers by automating administrative work and repetitive tasks, enabling them to focus on more meaningful teaching interactions. However, it also stresses the need for responsible AI use, ensuring that educational integrity and quality remain uncompromised.
Professor Rose Luckin of University College London and Founder of Educate Ventures Research underscores the report’s value:
‘This is an essential read for any education leader navigating the AI landscape. It provides a balanced view of AI’s potential while addressing the safeguards required to maintain quality teaching’.
Nik Peachey on AI in Language Education: Balancing Efficiency with Quality
Nik Peachey, an award-winning educator and digital learning specialist, contributed his expertise to the discussion, reflecting on the challenges and opportunities AI offers language educators. He emphasises the importance of ensuring that GenAI aligns with established language learning standards:
‘It’s essential, for example, to ensure that the output generated is CEFR-level accurate and continues to support creativity and innovation within the language classroom’.
While AI-powered tools can quickly generate lesson plans, exercises and assessments, Peachey and other experts emphasise the need for human oversight. The report warns that unchecked AI-generated content can sometimes introduce inaccuracies or fail to align with specific learning objectives. ELT consultant and trainer Rob Howard echoes this concern:
‘Most teachers don’t fact-check AI-generated content. If you need to verify everything, the time saved is lost’.
Avallain’s Ethical and Responsible Approach to AI
As a leading edtech company with over 20 years of experience, Avallain was invited to participate in consultations on the UK Government’s Safety Expectations. Avallain Intelligence’s focus on clear ethical guidelines for safe AI development, demonstrated through TeacherMatic and other AI-driven solutions across our product portfolio, directly informs our role in these consultations.
