The more specific your input, the more targeted the AI-generated content.
- Descriptive topic
A clear title like “Describing daily routines at work” enables the AI to generate highly relevant activities. - Essential vocabulary
Including terms like “commute” or “client” ensures these words are woven naturally into the text passages, activities, and lesson titles.

Like all generative AI systems, “hallucinations” can occur. To ensure the highest accuracy for your ESL lessons, we recommend providing a descriptive topic and focused essential words to ground the AI in specific facts.
Lessons are automatically saved to your library. You can organize them into custom folders by descriptive title, class, student, or CEFR level for easy access.
