UNESCO Adds a Language to Its AI Course

How to use these two pages

Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.

Student worksheet

A simple 15–20-minute lesson

Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.

Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.

Answers to the 2 questions

The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.

A teacher wants to qualify for the certificate. Which step meets the stated condition?
Correct answer: B — Completing at least 80% of the content and assessments
Why: The condition concerns completing both course content and assessments, not just registering.
Clue in the story: According to the announcement, completing at least 80% of the content and assessments was necessary to qualify for a certificate. Joining the course alone was not enough. Current registration information is on the course page.
Which use of “alongside” matches “alongside English and Spanish”?
Correct answer: C — The school offers art alongside music.
Why: Here “alongside” means offered together with something else, rather than physically next to it.
Clue in the story: UNESCO announced a third edition of its free online course on digital citizenship and artificial intelligence in September 2026. Portuguese was added alongside English and Spanish, with an October 12 start planned.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Choose one topic from the course and explain how a teacher could use it in a classroom activity. Make clear that your activity is your own example.

One possible answer: For example, a teacher could use the topic of false information to ask learners to compare two claims and explain which evidence they would check.

This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.

Grammar to discuss

Passive voice: focus on the change

Portuguese was added alongside English and Spanish

“Was added” makes the new language the subject. The person or organisation doing the adding is already clear. Everyday example: “A reading room was added to the library.”
