- How much speaking do practice activities generate?
- A lot. Practice activities are structured around communication tasks — students must speak to progress the scenario or solve the problem. Expect full-lesson speaking output.
- Can these be used for professional English?
- Yes. Set the topic to a professional context — job interviews, project management, client negotiations — and the AI generates scenarios relevant to that domain.
- Do students need devices?
- Yes, each student needs a phone or tablet. They join via browser — no download or account required.
- How much teacher facilitation is needed?
- More than games, but the AI provides scaffolding. Teachers focus on facilitating discussion and introducing complications rather than generating content.
