The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, and English Language Teaching (ELT) in particular, is potentially profound. This study examines the capacity of two AI tools—MagicSchool.ai and ChatGPT—to generate lesson plans for an English Language Teaching (ELT) setting, and offers recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of these tools. The researcher used a rubric derived from pedagogical frameworks, learning design, and lesson planning to rate the lesson plans produced in response to a teaching scenario prompt. The AI technologies can be helpful to teachers in terms of class preparation, suggesting activities, supporting goal setting, and providing resources. However, teachers must proceed with caution when using AI technologies due to their limitations, including paid subscriptions for advanced features, potential distractions from follow-up questions and conversations, biases or errors, and privacy concerns. These limitations underscore the particular need for teacher training and the need for more research on the changing educational possibilities of AI.
