How do I use Brian in language teaching?

There are two ways of generating a vocabulary exercise.

1) Select Add Quiz > Generate Vocabulary Training.

2) Create an AI dialogue using the template "Vocab Training".

You can find detailed instructions for both options here.

Choose Add Quiz > Generate New Materials. Describe the text you want to be created: theme, language level, age or interests of the readers, language focus, vocabulary. The AI will then suggest a text, which can be improved manually or by AI.

Example: Instructions for an English language course:

"A short text about the Montreux Jazz Festival for language learners at B1 level. The learners are

teenagers. Focus on this language point: present simple vs present continuous. Use the following

vocabulary: rhythm, to enjoy, thrilling, noisy, the bustle. Keep it simple and short."

After the initial draft, the following instruction were given to the AI:

"Keep the text as it is but avoid complex grammatical structures (no sub-clauses)."

Once the text is submitted, questions are automatically generated. The "Add Questions" function within the quiz can be used to refine the questions or give them a different focus.

Example: Adding Questions

"Add more questions where learners have to decide whether the present simple or present

continuous is grammatically correct."

Brian offers various AI dialogue templates specifically designed for language courses. These templates range from simple grammar exercises to role-playing scenarios.

Tip: In Pro Mode, instructions to the AI are best written in the language being learned (L2).
