Common questions
What exactly does one generation produce?
Five components in one step: the writing prompt with full context (situation, audience, purpose), a planning checklist, a useful language box with task-specific vocabulary and phrases, assessment criteria, and a complete model answer at the target level.
What's the difference between student and teacher sheets?
Students get the prompt, planning checklist, useful language box, and writing space. The teacher sheet adds assessment criteria and the model answer. Both come from one generation.
Can I choose between generic and task-specific criteria?
Yes. Generic criteria follow broad CEFR descriptors. Task-specific criteria are generated for the exact prompt — they reference the topic, the expected structure, and the language features a good response should include.
What task types are available?
Seven: essay (B1+), informal letter (all levels), formal letter (B1+), report (B1+), review (A2+), article (B1+), and story (all levels). Each is level-gated to match what students at that level can reasonably produce.
