Master modern lesson design
Discover new ways to engage your students through interactive mechanics, creative lesson design, and evidence-based teaching principles.
A fast-paced card game where students swipe right if a definition is correct, left if wrong — or judge any statement by your own criteria.
The whole group votes simultaneously — True or False. Tutor reveals the answer and sees who got it right.
Classic quiz format with one correct answer and up to 5 distractors. Individual or vote mode.
Fill-in-the-blank with multiple choice options. Students choose the correct word to complete a sentence.
Students type the missing word or phrase into a blank. No multiple choice — free input tests real recall.
Students select words from a bank to complete sentences. Good for grammar structures and collocations.
Each sentence contains one deliberate mistake. Students find it and correct it — directly in the text.
Race against time to match terms with definitions. The faster and more accurate, the better.
Open discussion questions appear one by one. Tutor controls the pace. Pure conversation, no scoring pressure.
Students pitch an idea, product, or topic within a time limit. Timer visible on screen.
A word or phrase appears — students use it naturally in speech before the timer moves to the next one.
A controversial statement appears. Students argue for or against it — powerful for critical thinking and opinion expression.
Faster version of Debate Roulette. Quick-fire statements, short responses, high energy.
Describe a word without using the forbidden words. Classic party game format that builds circumlocution skills.
Present a video, text, or audio to students. Add discussion questions and True/False comprehension checks — all in one activity.
Students predict what a text is about from its headline, then read and verify their predictions.
Each student reads a different text fragment, then shares their piece to reconstruct the full picture together.
Students write a short story using a shared word bank. Creative, collaborative, and vocabulary-focused.
Students take on roles in a realistic scenario. Each role has a private description and a secret goal to pursue.
Players receive secret roles — nobody knows who has which. Discussion reveals hidden agendas and tests strategic communication.
Each player receives a private briefing with secret objectives and behavioral constraints. Structured negotiation follows.
A scenario unfolds in real time. The tutor triggers unexpected events that students must respond to — on the spot.
A live shared whiteboard. Tutor draws, writes, and explains in real time. Students watch live. Available throughout the entire lesson.
A good lesson moves from warm-up to core practice to reflection — not just a random sequence of activities.
A typical 60-90 minute lesson flow:
Mix mechanics so students aren't doing the same type of task twice in a row. Alternate between individual focus and speaking activities.
Every 10-15 minutes, students need to do something — not just hear something.
