From prompt to the activity you have in mind

LingoQuesto's AI Studio builds every activity and every course from what you tell it in your prompt. This guide shows you how to write clear, complete prompts so the result looks like your class on the first try.

01 · Structure

The six elements of a good prompt

Each element gives the Studio a clue about your class. When all six are there, the activity comes out focused, at your level and with the vocabulary you want to work on.

  1. Learning objective

    What your students will learn or practice, in a single sentence. For example: use the present simple to talk about daily routines.

    One objective per activity lets the Studio stay focused and give clear instructions. Have several objectives in mind? Create one activity for each.

  2. Student level

    A1, A2, B1 and so on up to C2, based on the CEFR. With the level, the Studio adjusts the complexity of the language to your students.

  3. Topic or situation

    The specific situation where the activity takes place: ordering food at a restaurant or introducing yourself at a job interview.

    One or two lines are enough. A specific, direct situation keeps the activity focused on what you want to practice.

  4. Vocabulary and phrases

    The specific words and expressions you want your students to put into practice. The Studio weaves them into the activity.

  5. Verb tense if applicable

    If the activity centers on a verb tense, such as the present simple, the past or the conditional, name it and the Studio keeps it at the core of the practice.

  6. Mode: tutor or role play

    State the mode in your prompt and the activity takes the format you're looking for.

    Tutor

    The AI guides and corrects in real time, like a teacher: it explains, checks understanding and gives feedback.

    Role play

    The AI plays a character and your student practices independently within the situation, as in a real conversation.
