Methodology & findings

Study design

Literature review and conceptual analysis of prompt engineering techniques in educational contexts, with taxonomy development and illustration of five key prompt engineering techniques (zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, meta prompting, and self-consistency) through examples in EFL/ESP teaching..

Main result

The study established that "prompt engineering contributes to the development of 21st-century skills (the 4 Cs: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) and also increases students' self-regulation and motivation." Additionally, "the use of structured approaches to prompt engineering in the context of ESP/EFL teaching and learning can significantly improve the accuracy of AI responses and ensure academic integrity."

Research paradigm

interpretivist

Author conclusions

The authors conclude that "prompt engineering" should be conceptualized "as a separate but integrated component of language training" and that "the author considers the creation of prompts not only as a technical task, but as a complex linguistic activity that integrates grammatical, lexical, stylistic, and communicative aspects." This demonstrates that prompt engineering is fundamental to modern EFL/ESP pedagogy.

Risk of bias

No empirical validation or experimental control groups; Lack of quantitative data to support claims; No comparison with alternative teaching methodologies; Theoretical framework not tested against real student populations; Author-developed taxonomy not subjected to independent peer validation

Open questions raised

The paper identifies the need to adapt the UNESCO AI competency framework and train specialists capable of effectively interacting with AI. It emphasizes Ukraine's strategic plans for sovereign LLM development in 2026 and the necessity to prepare educators and learners for this technological landscape.
