Challenge

Targeting language learning deficits with AI

Writing practice is crucial for building fluency in both first and second languages. But providing timely, objective, and frequent writing support is challenging for teachers of English language and world language learners. Language education company LearningWrite partnered with us to create an AI-powered platform for delivering high-quality writing practice and feedback efficiently, effectively, and at scale.

Process

Breaking down writing assessment barriers

LearningWrite envisioned a transformative tool for enhancing language writing practice. By conducting user research and interviews with language education teachers and program managers, we identified three key opportunity areas. To succeed, our solution would need to: accelerate learning by giving students fast, consistent feedback; increase engagement by making writing practice interactive and relatable; and fast-track onboarding by making it easy for districts to incorporate LearningWrite into their established systems.

Solution

AI chat for interactive learning

Conversation drives language acquisition like no other practice method, and Chat Scenarios give students on-demand access to it via a custom-engineered chatbot partner. Powered by the latest AI language models, Chat Scenarios give teachers control over location, partner role, topic, and more, offering limitless possibilities for freeform, text-based exchanges that engage and challenge students.

Solution

Seamless LMS integration

Educators have plenty to juggle, so new tools need to add value, not hassle. LearningWrite integrates with Google Classroom, Canvas, and other major learning management and rostering systems, enabling effort-saving features like single sign-on, roster imports, and assignment syncing to streamline onboarding and everyday use.

Solution

Pre-written prompts, for assignments made simple

We partnered with the University of Oregon’s Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) to generate 100+ strategically crafted writing practice activities, searchable by proficiency level, topics, and “can-do” statements – allowing teachers to easily assign high-quality practice exercises aligned with their teaching goals.

Solution

Role management ecosystem

Ed tech tools need to work for all of a school’s users. The LearningWrite platform offers specialized portals for students, teachers, administrators, and content managers, designed to meet the unique and overlapping needs of each role.

Solution

Multilingual writing support

Teachers can assign writing prompts and chat scenarios to be completed in English, Spanish, French, and German, providing flexible practice options for world language and ESL students coming to class with a range of proficiency levels.

Praise from our clients

The auto-scoring feature gives students confidence as they’re working toward the Seal of Biliteracy exam. They know the score they’re receiving on their written responses isn’t biased. And that it reflects their future performance on the test.
