The rapid evolution of generative AI has deepened the integration of large language models (LLMs) into education, particularly in enhancing lesson preparation efficiency. This study investigates the use of the Chinese LLM DeepSeek in high school English lesson planning, taking Family Matters: Just a Brother as a case. Grounded in the BOPPPS teaching model and the BROKE prompt framework, it proposes a prompt-based application model to optimize teacher–AI interaction for high-quality instructional design. Through case analysis and theoretical discussion, the study highlights DeepSeek’s advantages in content generation, linguistic adaptation, and digital literacy enhancement, offering practical strategies to advance human–AI collaborative teaching.
