#1 Essay learn + test
A blank page for a structured argument. Learners plan and write short essays with AI guidance on structure, cohesion and language. Feedback addresses ideas and organisation, not just grammar mistakes.
Research basis: Based on the writing-as-process model (Flower & Hayes).
#2 Dictation learn + test
Write down exactly what you hear. Classic dictation, reimagined: learners listen to phrases and type them word for word. The exercise links sound to spelling and exposes the precise gaps between what learners hear and what they write.
Research basis: Dictation links phonological processing to orthographic representation.
#3 Audio Story learn + test
Follow the plot with your ears. Learners listen to a short narrated story and answer questions about characters, events and sequence. Stories give listening a natural structure and emotional anchor that isolated sentences lack.
Research basis: Narrative structure supports listening comprehension and retention.
#4 Conditional Builder learn + test
If you play this game, your conditionals will improve. Given a conditional type (zero, first, second, third or mixed), the learner assembles or types the correct forms for the if-clause and the main clause. Targets one of the most stubborn structural difficulties.
Research basis: Conditionals demand control of tense agreement and modality.
#5 Language Detective learn + test
Investigate the language itself. The learner examines linguistic clues — forms, structures, word choices — and reasons about why the language works as it does. Less memorisation, more inquiry.
Research basis: Develops metalinguistic awareness through guided inquiry.
#6 Phrase Bridge learn + test
Translate in both directions. A phrase is translated between the first language and English. Direction and granularity are set by the teacher.
