Turn a text, a topic or a video into a language quiz
Multiple choice, true/false and gap-fill questions written from the material your class actually studied, at CEFR A1 to C2, with the answer key. Paste a passage or drop in a YouTube link and you have a quiz in about a minute.
A quiz is only useful if it tests what you taught
Ready-made quizzes have the same problem as ready-made worksheets: they test a curriculum that isn’t yours. Half the questions cover vocabulary you haven’t reached, and the ones that don’t are too easy to be worth marking.
Generating from your own source fixes the alignment. If the quiz comes from the text they read on Tuesday, every question is fair, and a wrong answer tells you something real about who wasn’t listening.
Three question types
| Type | Built from | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice | A text you paste | Fast marking, and forcing a choice between near-identical options |
| True / false | A text you paste, or a YouTube video | Checking whether they read or watched it at all |
| Gap-fill | A topic, a word list, or a YouTube video | Testing form — a tense, a preposition, a collocation — rather than meaning |
Mixing the three in one quiz is usually better than picking one. True/false warms them up, multiple choice does the discrimination work, gap-fill catches whether the grammar stuck.
What makes a generated question good or bad
A good distractor
Wrong for a reason a student might plausibly believe — a false friend, a tempting tense, a word that collocates elsewhere. It teaches something when they get it wrong.
A bad distractor
Obviously wrong, or defensibly right. The first makes the question free; the second makes it unfair. Both are worth catching before you print.
A good true/false statement
Clearly settled by the text. A student who read it knows; a student who didn't is guessing.
A bad true/false statement
Arguable, or true in general but not stated in the text. This is the most common failure and the easiest to spot on a read-through.
Quizzes from video
The gap-fill and true/false types both run from a YouTube link as well as from text. That’s the version worth trying first — building a listening quiz by hand means scrubbing back and forth through a clip with a notepad, which is the slowest preparation task in language teaching.
The listening page covers how that works and which videos give a usable result.
Questions people ask
Is this an interactive quiz students take online?
No. Classorium generates the quiz and its answer key as material — you print it, or paste it into whatever you already use to deliver quizzes. It does not host the quiz, assign it, or collect answers.
How many questions do I get?
You set the number. A short text supports fewer good questions than a long one — asking for twenty questions on one paragraph produces repetition rather than coverage.
Can I control the difficulty?
Through the CEFR level, which changes both the language of the question and how much inference the answer takes. See what each level means.
Does it work in Spanish, French and German?
Yes, all three question types in all four languages.
