ESL worksheets and materials, generated around your class
Reading passages, cloze, gap-fill, comprehension questions, vocabulary matching and video tasks — at CEFR A1 to C2, built from the text, topic or word list you're already working with.
The particular problem with ESL groups
Adult ESL classes spread wider than almost any other teaching context. One evening group can hold an engineer who reads at C1 but won’t speak, a recent arrival at A1 with a strong survival vocabulary, and four people somewhere around B1 who all struggle with different things because they have four different first languages.
No published coursebook is written for that room, which is why ESL teachers make more of their own material than almost anyone and why the preparation load is what burns people out of the job.
What that means in practice
| The situation | What usually helps |
|---|---|
| The group spans three levels | One source text generated at A2, B1 and B2 — same topic, so the discussion afterwards still includes everyone |
| Mixed first languages | Vocabulary work that avoids relying on cognates, and definitions written at the learner's level rather than a dictionary's |
| Adults with specific needs | A reading text on their actual field — nursing, logistics, construction — rather than the coursebook's office scenario |
| Low-stakes speaking practice | Discussion questions from a short video, so nobody has to invent an opinion cold |
| A student who missed three weeks | The same material regenerated a level lower, without you writing it twice |
What ESL teachers use most
- Reading passage plus true/false and discussion questions — the standard lesson spine, in one generation each.
- Cloze on a text the class already read, as recycling in the following lesson.
- Video gap-fill from a short clip, which is the fastest route to listening practice at the right level.
- Word–definition matching from the vocabulary that came up rather than a topic list.
- The same text at two levels for a split group.
Questions people ask
Does it handle exam preparation?
It generates CEFR-aligned material, which covers a lot of general exam practice — reading, listening and vocabulary work at the level your candidates sit. Board-specific task formats such as key word transformation or exam-format open cloze come from the past papers, not from here.
Can I use authentic material?
Yes, and it’s the better path. Paste a news article, a job ad, a set of instructions — the tasks are built from that rather than from an invented text.
Is there anything for one-to-one teaching?
It works the same way and the fit is arguably better: with one student you know exactly what they need, and generating around that specific need is what the tool does.
How much does it cost?
Ten generations free with no card. Then $8.99 a month for a hundred a month, or $69 a year unlimited.
