Revisit the Language Teaching Takeoff Webinar Series: Featured Highlights and Insights

London, August 2025 – The Language Teaching Takeoff Webinar Series offers a practical look at the TeacherMatic Language Teaching Edition, a toolkit designed specifically for language educators. It’s more than a generic AI solution: every generator is built around the realities of classroom teaching, with a focus on saving time, enhancing creativity, maintaining pedagogical standards and ensuring the ethical and safe adoption of AI in language education. 

This edition of TeacherMatic can generate comprehensive lesson plans, adapt texts and tasks, create original content and quizzes, provide personalised feedback and more, all tailored to different CEFR levels. Each 30-minute session focuses on integrating AI meaningfully and responsibly, providing ideas, activities and workflows that make a real difference to teaching and learning.

The series has attracted over 300 educators across four sessions, underscoring the strong interest in practical, teacher-focused AI solutions.

Meet the Hosts

Moderated by Giada Brisotto, Senior Marketing and Sales Operations Manager at Avallain, and led by Nik Peachey, award-winning educator, author and edtech consultant, each webinar combines deep expertise with actionable guidance. 

‘These generators aren’t just text tools. They’re designed with real classroom needs in mind. You input your goals, level and theme, and the results are ready to use or refine.’ – Nik Peachey, Director of Pedagogy, PeacheyPublications

Save Time While Planning Quality Lessons

The first webinar in the series, Elevate Your Lesson Planning’, explored how purpose-built AI can transform how teachers design lessons. One of the main insights from the session was the critical balance between efficiency and academic rigour. Nik demonstrated how the Lesson Plan generator enables educators to produce fully structured, CEFR-aligned lesson plans in just a few minutes. 

Key benefits highlighted in the session included:

  • CEFR-aligned outputs to ensure lessons meet recognised language standards.
  • Adaptable and editable plans that reflect the needs of individual classes.
  • Support for professional autonomy, giving teachers control instead of imposing rigid templates.
  • Support for core pedagogical models, including Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Learning (TBL), Presentation Practice Production (PPP), Lexical Approach and Test-Teach-Test.

The session emphasised that the real value of AI in education lies in targeted, purposeful support, rather than blanket automation. Starting with focused applications like lesson planning allows educators to make small, practical changes that can significantly impact both teaching quality and learners’ experiences.

Deliver Personalised CEFR-Aligned Feedback

The second webinar, From Rubrics to Results: How to Provide Impactful Feedback’, focused on how AI can help teachers provide meaningful, personalised feedback without adding to their workload. Nik demonstrated the Feedback generator, showing how educators can instantly create feedback tailored to each student while keeping them aligned with CEFR standards and institutional rubrics.

Key benefits highlighted in the session included:

  • CEFR-aligned feedback that can be tailored to specific subscales.
  • Feedback tailored to rubrics and assessment criteria, ensuring comments reflect your teaching context.
  • Balanced, constructive comments that highlight both strengths and areas for improvement.

During the session, it was stressed that AI works best when it enhances teacher expertise rather than replacing it. By streamlining the feedback process, educators can maintain high standards of personalisation and pedagogy, even with large groups of students.

Adapt and Analyse Content Across Levels

The third webinar, Adapting Content for Effective CEFR-Aligned Language Teaching’, spotlighted how AI can empower teachers to adapt existing materials to diverse learner groups and levels. Nik introduced two powerful tools specifically designed with classroom realities in mind: the Adapt your content generator and the CEFR Level Checker.

Key benefits highlighted in the session included:

  • Effortlessly adapting content from one CEFR level to another while preserving the original theme and ensuring the result is pedagogically effective.
  • Immediate, precise CEFR analysis of texts, breaking down vocabulary and grammar complexity to help verify learner-appropriate materials.
  • Supporting teacher control through editable outputs that can be fine-tuned for specific class needs.

As Nik emphasised, ‘It’s not just about saving time. It’s about creating something that actually works for your learners faster’. The session showed how these AI generators translate the complexity of CEFR adaptation into practical, editable resources, enabling teachers to respond precisely to different learner needs without compromising pedagogical integrity.

Engage Students and Assess Progress Quickly

Generate, Engage and Assess: Create Custom Texts and Multiple Choice Quizzes’, demonstrated how TeacherMatic can support both content creation and assessment in language teaching. Participants saw how the Create a text and Multiple Choice Questions generators allow teachers to produce original CEFR-level texts and assess learner understanding instantly, without prompt engineering or technical complexity.

Highlights from the session included:

  • Generating original classroom-ready texts tailored by topic, CEFR level, grammar focus, text type, vocabulary and length.
  • Creating CEFR-aligned multiple-choice quizzes from any text to assess comprehension, vocabulary or grammar.
  • Adapting content across proficiency levels while preserving the theme and ensuring pedagogical usefulness.

In this session, participants learned how combining flexible content and quiz generators can streamline lesson preparation, enhance learner engagement and support accurate, timely assessment.

The Language Teaching Takeoff Webinar Series has illustrated how purpose-built AI can support language educators in practical, impactful ways. The TeacherMatic Language Teaching Edition allows teachers to leverage AI responsibly, ethically and safely, enhancing learning while maintaining pedagogical standards and putting educators in control of their classroom practice.

From Rubrics to Results: Making Feedback More Impactful with AI in Language Teaching

Delivering impactful feedback can be one of the most time-consuming parts of language teaching. In this chapter of the Language Teaching Takeoff Webinar Series, we explored how to streamline the feedback process without compromising the quality that learners deserve.

From Rubrics to Results: Making Feedback More Impactful with AI in Language Teaching

London, May 2025 – On May 15th, the Avallain Group hosted the second session in its Language Teaching Takeoff Webinar Series, ‘From Rubrics to Results: How to Provide Impactful Feedback’. The session was moderated by Giada Brisotto, Senior Marketing and Sales Operations Manager at Avallain, and led by Nik Peachey, educator, author and edtech consultant. 

This 30-minute session focused on how the Feedback Generator in the TeacherMatic Language Teaching Edition can assist educators in providing better, faster and more personalised feedback.

The Challenge: High-Quality Feedback Takes Time

Feedback is essential for student progress, but for teachers, it often comes at the cost of time and energy. Nik opened the session by acknowledging this widespread issue and proposing a practical, AI-supported solution: the Feedback Generator.

Unlike general-purpose tools, the TeacherMatic Feedback Generator, designed specifically for language teaching, allows educators to produce constructive feedback that aligns with assignment briefs, CEFR levels and specific pedagogical approaches.

Personalised Feedback at Scale

Nik demonstrated how the Feedback Generator makes it possible to maintain personalisation, even with large groups of students. By inputting a student’s response and the original task prompt, teachers can instantly generate comments that are:

  • Aligned with CEFR levels and subscales. (e.g., B1 writing > coherence and cohesion)
  • Tailored to the assessment criteria or rubric used by the teacher or institution.
  • Balanced between strengths and areas of improvement.

​​The result: fast, personalised and pedagogically relevant feedback.

Designed for Language Teachers, Not Just Generic Use

As it is purpose-built for language educators, the Feedback Generator supports core pedagogical models including:

  • Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)
  • Task-Based Learning (TBL)
  • Presentation Practice Production (PPP)
  • Lexical Approach
  • Test – Teach – Test

This flexibility allows teachers to generate feedback that fits their existing lesson models and institutional standards.

From Feedback to Feedforward

Nik emphasised that effective feedback not only reflects on the past but also guides learners as they progress. The Feedback Generator enables this by including next steps and actionable guidance in the comments, which can be adjusted for tone, focus and complexity.

This ‘forward approach’ aligns with current thinking in language assessment, that feedback should help students take ownership of their progress and better understand learning objectives.

Why It Matters: Lighter Workload, Deeper Impact

The session closed with a powerful reminder: when tools are designed around the real needs of teachers, not just general AI capabilities, they can genuinely reduce pressure without lowering standards.

By using the Feedback Generator, teachers can:

  • Save time without sacrificing quality
  • Ensure consistency in grading
  • Focus more on student support and less on repetitive admin
  • Promote deeper engagement with learning goals
