In the evolving landscape of digital education, SmartClass is setting a new benchmark with its latest innovation—Guided AI Conversation activities. These aren’t your typical chatbot interactions; they’re the result of extensive collaboration between educators, linguists, and AI specialists. Unlike generic tools such as ChatGPT or standard chatbots, SmartClass’ AI has been meticulously trained to serve one purpose: helping students master English within a structured, pedagogically sound environment.

What sets SmartClass apart?

Traditional chatbots and AI tools are designed to emulate human conversation, often at the expense of educational focus. SmartClass’ Guided AI Conversation Activities are different. Here’s how:

  1. Educator-Curated Training
    SmartClass’ AI doesn’t simply "chat"; it has been carefully trained by educators who spent countless hours tailoring the AI’s responses. This ensures students stay on task, avoid distractions, and focus solely on the vocabulary, grammar, and concepts taught in the SmartClass English curriculum.

  2. Pedagogical Alignment
    Every conversation is tied directly to the lesson content. Students aren’t just talking—they’re practicing the precise language structures and vocabulary they’ve recently learned.

  3. Redirection and Support
    The AI is trained to redirect students who stray off-topic or make errors gently. It provides real-time guidance and corrections, making every conversation a learning opportunity.

  4. Comprehensive, Automated Grading
    Forget subjective evaluations! The AI automatically assesses each student’s performance based on:

    • Vocabulary usage
    • Grammar accuracy
    • Staying on topic
    • Use of complete sentences

    This ensures consistent, objective grading while saving educators time.

  5. Activity Variety
    With 24 unique Guided AI Conversation Activities, students can engage in a wide range of scenarios, from casual conversations to task-specific dialogues. Each activity reinforces the language skills targeted in SmartClass lessons.

  1. 3 Modes
    Teachers can select between 3 modes before assigning any SmartClass AI Conversation activity: Text only, Speech and Text, and Speech only.
