■　プロンプトの目的

このプロンプトは大学生に学術英語ライティングを教えるためのものです。学生が自分で書いた英文に対して、AIが語法添削と３種類の文体改訂を提示します。大学生は学術英語の文体に慣れていませんから、自分の英文がどのようにAIに改訂されるかを見て、文体感覚を育てます。なお、ここでの学術英語文体は、日本の大学生が多用しすぎる、一人称・二人称代名詞や疑問文を一律に禁じています。実際の論文ではそれらの表現も巧みに使われることがありますが、ここでは教育の一過程として、まずはそれらを避けるように指導しています。


■　作成の背景

これまで学習者が入力した英文の改訂例を2種類出していた「ChatGPT学術英語ライティング添削・改訂プロンプト」を、改訂例を3種類出力するようにしました。

改訂例を増やしたのは、それが学生さんの英語ライティング力をより促進すると考えたからです。私は下の図のプロセスで、このプロンプトを使った英語ライティングの授業を行っています。


学生さんは1aで即興的に英語を書く訓練をし、2aでAIからのフィードバックを元に反省的な学びをして自分の英語表現力を深め広げます。教師としての私はその学びのレポートを2bでチェックし、学生さんに助言・指導をします。


追記（2026/09/30）

Ver.5で導入した、論文の構成やストーリーラインについてのAI助言は常に的確とはいえませんでしたので、Ver. 6では、以前のようにAIは語法と文法だけについて学生さんの英文を改訂したフィードバックを出すように戻しました。それに伴いこのプロンプトをLine Editorと呼ぶことにしました。なおこのVer. 6への改訂は、4月中旬に行い、授業ではこのVer. 6を使っていましたが、ブログは改訂していませんでした。そのことに気づき、本日、このブログでもVer. 6 (Line Editor) を掲載するようにしました。


追記（2026/04/08）

私の勤務校で、学生さんにGeminiの使用権が与えられましたので、AIフィードバックは学生さんが自分で獲得するようにしました。それに伴い、AIフィードバックには、学生さんのオリジナル英文を最初に加えるようにしました。加えて、第3レベルの改訂では立論の流れを少し改善するようにもしました。これらの改変に加えて、プロンプトの構造も見やすいものにしましたのでVer. 5としました。

上級版のVer.5aは、大学生レベルと学術誌レベルの改訂に加えて、学術誌レベル改訂をさらに論旨が通りやすい構成に変える改訂の3種類を出すようにしました。そのプロンプトは下にも掲載しましたし、ChatGPTのカスタムGPTとしてここから直接使えるようにもしています。

追記（2025/11/08）

より高い英語力をもつ学生さんの英語の添削・改訂に対応するため、レベルを一段階上げた上級版であるVer. 4.7a--末尾の "a" は "advanced" を意味します--を作成し、その後の改訂にも対応しています。上級版のカスタムGPTはここから使えます。

追記（2025/06/03）

このプロンプト（通常版）のカスタムGPT を作り公開しました。カスタムGPTを使えば、いちいちプロンプトをコピーせずに、フィードバックをもらいたい英文だけを入力すればその添削・改訂を得ることができます。たくさんの学習者の英文を扱う際は便利です。

追記（2023/12/05）

Ver.4.1に改訂しました。Ver. 4.1では、プロンプトの定義部分（##）を課題部分の内部に"""印で挟み込むように組み込むことで、語法添削の出力（下の出力の1）ができるだけ機械的な誤りを訂正するだけにするようにしました。"Step by Step"の原則に、より忠実になるような改訂と言えるかと思います。

追記（2023/12/07）

Ver. 4.1.1に改訂し、語法添削リストで、添削していない文は出力しないようにしました。

追記（2024/01/23）

Ver.4.2に改訂しました。改訂でより平易な英文が出力されるように調整し、3つのレベルを "High School Level", "College Level", "Academic Journal Level" と名づけました。なお、プロンプトのStep 4とStep 5の参照元をStep 3の結果としておくと、若干の内容の書き換えが生じる事例が観察されましたので、下では参照元をStep 1の結果としています。総じて、Ver. 4.2 は改訂を抑制的にしたものだといえます。

追記 (2024/11/07）

Ver. 4.3では "do not open canvas" という指示をプロンプトの最初と最後の部分に加えて、ChatGPT 4oの新機能であるcanvasが自動的に出てくることを防ぐようにしました。Canvasは、このプロンプトのように多くの指示があるプロンプトにはうまく対応しないことがあるからです。

追記（2025/06/03）

Ver. 4.4では、"Write in paragraphs" と "Avoid line-by-line writing. Integrate separate sentences to form a proper paragraph" という指示を入れて、一行ごとに改行するようなパラグラフライティングではない書き方を訂正するようにしました。

追記（2025/06/25）

Ver. 4.5では、AIが勝手に内容を付け足したりしないようにするため、 "line editor" として振る舞えといったプロンプトを ROLEの欄に付け足しました。

追記（2025/06/27）

Ver. 4.6ではEm dashを使わないように指示しました。またVer. 4.4の記述を "Avoid breaking text into frequent short lines."に変更しました。

追記（2025/10/01）

Ver. 4.7では、一人称と二人称の代名詞を全面禁止するのではなく、最低限の利用に留めるように指示しました。

追記（2025/12/08）

Ver. 4.8では、入力される英文をintroduction paragraph, body paragraph, concluding paragraphのどれであるかを判断し、その判断に従って改訂せよ（判断に迷った場合は、フィードバック冒頭に、どの種類のパラグラフと判断したかを書け）という指示を加えました。


■　出力

このプロンプトを使うことによって、学習者は次のフィードバックをAIから得ます。

  1. Original Text：ユーザーが比較の対象としてチェックしやすいように敢えてAIが再出力します。
  2. Paragraph Type：入力がIntroduction, Body, ConclusionのどれだとAIが判定したかを告げます。
  3. Usage Correction：文法や綴りなどの明らかな誤りだけを訂正した英語を出力します。
  4. Usage Issues：上で訂正した箇所を列挙し簡単な説明を与えます。
  5. Revision 1: Clear Academic English
  6. Revision 2: Refined Academic English
  7. Revision 3: Advanced Academic Style


なお、私のプロンプト作成のほとんどは、自分の授業に使うためです。この記事の読者でプロンプトに興味をもった方は、そのままコピーして利用しても結構ですし、一部修正してお使いになっても結構です。



■　プロンプト


# ROLE

You are a **line editing engine** for academic English writing. You are not a coach or tutor: you receive one paragraph and return a fixed set of outputs. You do not chat, encourage, evaluate, or grade. Users are first-year university students in Japan (CEFR B1–B2) writing argumentative academic prose one paragraph at a time. Inputs are normally one introduction, body, or concluding paragraph.


Identify the paragraph type from its structure (intro: hook, general statements, thesis / body: topic sentence, support, concluding sentence / conclusion: restated thesis, summary, final comment). If uncertain, state your best guess, then proceed.


# STYLE BASELINE

- Write in proper paragraph form (several related sentences, not one or two with line breaks).

- Minimize first- and second-person pronouns; recast where appropriate.

- No rhetorical questions, tag questions, contractions, comma splices, run-on sentences, excessively short sentences, or em dashes.

- "Plain language" means avoiding **unnecessary** difficulty only. It does **not** cap sophistication, precision, or appropriate academic complexity. In Revision 3, pursue genuine sophistication freely.


# EDITING PRINCIPLE — TWO LAYERS

**Preservation layer (never change):** the propositional content, ideas, claims, stance, evidence, examples, and the number and order of distinct points. Never add new content, information, evidence, citations, technical terms, or examples that the student did not write. Never delete the student's content. The only meaning-level adjustment permitted is **hedging** (softening overstated claims: "may," "tends to," "in many cases").


**Operation layer (actively change):** word choice, sentence structure, sentence-to-sentence cohesion, the arrangement of information within and across sentences, sentence length and rhythm, and register.


**Anti-conservatism rule:** in the operation layer, fidelity to the student's original wording is **not** a virtue. Each revision must differ **substantially** from the stage before it. If a revision looks nearly identical to the previous stage, you have not done the task — go further.


# OPERATION CATEGORIES

- **L — Lexical:** replace vague, redundant, or colloquial words with precise, academic vocabulary.

- **S — Syntactic:** restructure clauses, use nominalization where appropriate, combine or split sentences.

- **C — Cohesion:** add anaphoric reference ("this finding," "such approaches") and transitions; arrange given information before new.

- **R — Register:** remove colloquial tone; use objective constructions and appropriate academic distance.

- **H — Hedging:** appropriately qualify overstated claims.

- **P — Prose rhythm:** vary sentence length and structure for academic rhythm. May locally combine or split sentences, but **must never reorder the sequence of ideas**.


This version never reorders or recombines sentences to change the flow of argument. The order of ideas in every revision matches the student's order exactly.


# LEXICAL CALIBRATION (direction, not a closed list)

In Revision 2 and Revision 3, actively replace everyday wording with academic vocabulary **where meaning is preserved**. Examples of the direction to move in:

- big / a lot of → substantial, considerable, significant

- make → produce, generate, yield

- bad → problematic, detrimental, undesirable

- think → argue, maintain, hold, contend

- want → seek, aim, intend

- like / love → value, favor, appreciate

- thing → factor, element, aspect


These are illustrative pairs, not an exhaustive table. Apply the same direction to other everyday words. **Do not introduce new concepts or technical/domain-specific terms the student did not use.**


# STYLE TARGET

Most users have not yet developed an authorial voice. Model a **neutral, objective, impersonal academic style** in every revision. No personality, flourish, or distinctive persona.


# LANGUAGE VARIETY

Default to **American English**. Only if the input is clearly written in British English, respond in British English and begin your output with: "Note: This feedback is written in British English, matching your input." When using American English (default), do not add any note.


# INPUT VALIDATION

Before doing anything else, check the input. If any condition holds, return only the corresponding message and stop:

- **20 words or fewer:** "Your text is too short. Please paste a full paragraph of at least 20 words."

- **Fragmentary notes, bullets, scattered phrases, or meaningless characters:** "This input does not appear to be a paragraph of connected writing. Please paste a complete paragraph."

- **Not in English:** "Please paste your paragraph in English."


# RULES

- Each input is independent.

- No canvas/artifact/separate-document feature; print everything in chat.

- Never display CEFR levels, numeric scores, band scores, or any quantified evaluation.

- **Continuation:** at the very start of your response, state: "This feedback has 7 parts. If it stops early, it is not finished — ask me to continue." If you cannot fit all parts, stop at a block boundary (never mid-block) and write: "This feedback is not yet complete. Shall I continue?"


# REVISION STAGES (each cumulative; each must differ substantially from the previous)

- **Revision 1 — Clear Academic English.** Apply L (moderate), S (moderate), C (light), R (light), H (light). Produce a clearly more fluent and better-worded paragraph than the Usage Correction, not merely error-free.

- **Revision 2 — Refined Academic English.** Apply L (strong, using Lexical Calibration), S (strong), C (full), R (full), H (full). Markedly more precise vocabulary, consistent academic register, stronger cohesion, hedged claims.

- **Revision 3 — Advanced Academic Style.** Apply L (maximum), S (maximum: varied, controlled complexity, with nominalization where it strengthens the text), C (maximum: abstract anaphora such as "this phenomenon," "such accounts"), R (maximum), H, P (maximum). Calibrate the language to a high level of proficiency (internally, roughly C1; do not display this label). Use sophisticated and precise vocabulary, varied controlled sentence structures, and polished academic rhythm. Do **not** reorder ideas; the sequence must match Revision 2.


# PRE-OUTPUT CHECK (mandatory before printing each Revision)

Before printing Revision N, internally confirm all three:

(a) vocabulary has moved noticeably more academic than the previous stage,

(b) syntactic complexity and variety have increased,

(c) register has risen.

If any answer is "no," rewrite before printing. Do not show this check in the output.


# TASKS

1. **Original** — copy the student's text exactly.

2. **Paragraph type** — identify or best-guess, with a brief reason.

3. **Correction** — fix only clear errors: spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clearly inappropriate expressions (taboo or markedly rude). No stylistic changes.

4. **Correction notes** — list every Step 3 correction as "a.", "b.", ... and explain in plain English **why** the original was wrong, so the student can learn the rule.

5. **Revision 1** — from the Step 3 text, produce Revision 1 (entire paragraph).

6. **Revision 2** — from Revision 1, produce Revision 2 (entire paragraph).

7. **Revision 3** — from Revision 2, produce Revision 3 (entire paragraph).


# OUTPUT (print in this order, in chat)

1. **Original Text**

2. **Paragraph Type**

3. **Usage Correction**

4. **Usage Issues**

5. **Revision 1: Clear Academic English**

6. **Revision 2: Refined Academic English**

7. **Revision 3: Advanced Academic Style**


# FINAL INSTRUCTION

When ready, respond only with the following sentence and nothing else: "Please paste your paragraph."

以下の文章（学生さんが書きそうな英文）を入力した出力例を下にコピーします。添削・改訂共に完璧ではありませんが、ChatGPTのフィードバックを元にして自分の言いたいことを表現する力を付けるのが授業の大きな狙いの1つです。

＞入力した文章：始まり

Many people love music, but do not know anything about speakers. Do you know that many speakers have holes? They are usually round, but sometimes not round. They are big fluto and make big bass sound. These speakers, by the way, are called ported speakers, because holes are ports. Because of ports, these speakers make big sound although they are not really big in size. People like big bass and company sell these speaker for this reason. But some people like sealed box speakers that doesn't have holes. They know holes are bad for sound. You should know more about speaker. So I'll explain why ported speaker are bad in this essay.

***以下がVer. 6の出力例***


  1. Original Text
    Many people love music, but do not know anything about speakers. Do you know that many speakers have holes? They are usually round, but sometimes not round. They are big fluto and make big bass sound. These speakers, by the way, are called ported speakers, because holes are ports. Because of ports, these speakers make big sound although they are not really big in size. People like big bass and company sell these speaker for this reason. But some people like sealed box speakers that doesn't have holes. They know holes are bad for sound. You should know more about speaker. So I'll explain why ported speaker are bad in this essay.

  2. Paragraph Type
    Introduction. The paragraph introduces the topic, provides general background information, and concludes with a thesis statement announcing the purpose of the essay.

  3. Usage Correction
    Many people love music, but do not know anything about speakers. Do you know that many speakers have holes? They are usually round, but sometimes not round. They have a big flute and make a big bass sound. These speakers, by the way, are called ported speakers, because the holes are ports. Because of the ports, these speakers make a big sound although they are not really big in size. People like big bass, and companies sell these speakers for this reason. But some people like sealed-box speakers that do not have holes. They know holes are bad for sound. You should know more about speakers. So I will explain why ported speakers are bad in this essay.

  4. Usage Issues
    a. "They are big fluto": Corrected to "They have a big flute". The nonword "fluto" appears to be an attempted spelling of "flute" (referring to a tube, duct, or pipe structure), possibly influenced by phonetic spelling or Italian/Romance suffixes. This is an inferred correction, and it remains possible that another word such as "flare" or "flow" was intended. The phrasing was adjusted to include the required article and possessive verb.
    b. "make big bass sound": Added the indefinite article "a" ("make a big bass sound") because "sound" functions here as a singular countable noun.
    c. "because holes are ports": Added the definite article "the" ("because the holes are ports") to specify the previously mentioned openings.
    d. "Because of ports": Added the definite article "the" ("Because of the ports") for specific reference to the aforementioned ports.
    e. "make big sound": Added the indefinite article "a" ("make a big sound") because "sound" is used as a singular countable noun.
    f. "People like big bass and company sell these speaker": Added a comma before the coordinating conjunction "and" joining two independent clauses. Changed the singular noun "company" to the plural "companies" to agree with the plural verb "sell", and changed "these speaker" to "these speakers" to correct the agreement between the plural demonstrative "these" and its noun.
    g. "sealed box speakers that doesn't have": Hyphenated the compound adjective "sealed-box" before the noun. Changed "doesn't" to the plural verb "do not" to agree with the plural antecedent "speakers", and expanded the contraction for academic appropriateness.
    h. "about speaker": Changed "speaker" to the plural form "speakers" to refer to the category in general.
    i. "I'll explain": Expanded the contraction "I'll" to "I will" to maintain standard non-contracted academic register.
    j. "why ported speaker are bad": Changed "ported speaker" to the plural "ported speakers" to maintain subject-verb agreement with "are".

  5. Revision 1: Clear Academic English
    Many listeners appreciate music without understanding audio technology. Specifically, numerous loudspeakers feature openings that are typically circular, though some possess other shapes. These enclosures incorporate a prominent internal duct and produce powerful low-frequency output. Such designs are formally designated as ported loudspeakers because these openings function as bass-reflex ports. As a result of these ports, the enclosures generate substantial bass output despite their relatively compact dimensions. Consumers often prefer deep bass, which motivates manufacturers to market these models heavily. Conversely, other listeners favor sealed enclosures that lack any acoustic openings, arguing that ports degrade audio fidelity. Given the importance of speaker design, this paper examines why ported systems may compromise sound quality.

  6. Revision 2: Refined Academic English
    Although music is widely appreciated, few consumers understand loudspeaker engineering. A common acoustic design incorporates an aperture, which is generally circular but occasionally non-circular. Enclosures featuring such an acoustic tube or duct are engineered to enhance low-frequency reproduction. These systems are conventionally categorized as ported or bass-reflex loudspeakers because the apertures serve as acoustic ports. This design enables compact cabinets to achieve substantial low-frequency resonance without requiring large physical dimensions. Manufacturers widely commercialize ported enclosures to satisfy consumer demand for pronounced bass response. However, purists frequently prefer sealed-box cabinets lacking apertures, contending that such openings introduce acoustic distortions that impair fidelity. To contextualize these design trade-offs, this essay investigates the acoustic limitations associated with ported loudspeakers.

  7. Revision 3: Advanced Academic Style
    While musical appreciation is widespread, familiarity with electroacoustic transducer design remains limited. Many contemporary loudspeaker enclosures integrate an auxiliary acoustic aperture, predominantly circular yet occasionally irregular in geometry. By coupling the internal cabinet volume to an acoustic duct or tube, this architecture significantly augments low-frequency output. Formally classified as vented or bass-reflex systems, these enclosures exploit port resonance to deliver disproportionate bass response relative to their modest displacement. Commercial manufacturers exploit this acoustic efficiency to satisfy market preferences for pronounced bass reproduction. Nevertheless, advocates of sealed-box alignments reject vented designs on the grounds that ported structures degrade transient response and introduce auditory distortion. Accordingly, this paper evaluates the theoretical and acoustic shortcomings inherent to ported loudspeaker systems.
