Frequently Asked Questions About AI ESL Assessment
Answers to common queries regarding input sources, output flexibility, and AI functionality.
How does the AI adapt its questions to specific ESL levels (A1 vs. C1)?
When you upload content or provide a prompt, the AI uses semantic analysis to gauge the complexity of the source text. For optimal results, we recommend specifying the target CEFR level in your initial prompt, allowing the AI to adjust vocabulary and grammatical structure complexity accordingly.
What file types are supported for creating my ESL practice tests?
You can upload standard instructional documents including PDF files, DOCX files, and images containing text overlays. You can also generate quizzes purely from text prompts, making it flexible for any source material.
Is the answer key comprehensive, and are explanations provided for all options?
Yes, every generated quiz includes a complete answer key. The key provides a detailed, educational explanation focusing specifically on *why* the correct option is accurate, reinforcing the rule or concept being tested.
Can I export the generated quizzes for use in external Learning Management Systems?
Absolutely. We provide robust export options including standard PDF and Word (DOCX) for printing, alongside industry-standard formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, ensuring easy deployment across most educational platforms.
