The Chat-to-Lesson Pipeline
The Complete Process
Paste the chat transcript into DrillKit. Review the extracted vocabulary (typically 15-30 items from a 45-minute chat). Select the 10-15 most important items — prioritizing words the student struggled with over words they already knew.
Choose 3-4 exercise types from DrillKit's menu: gap-fill for core vocabulary, vocabulary matching for definitions, error correction for grammar issues that came up in the chat, and translation for homework reinforcement.
Block 1 (10 min): Review last lesson using the vocabulary from the worksheet. Quick oral quiz — can the student use 5 words from last time in sentences?
Block 2 (15 min): New topic conversation (builds the next lesson's transcript).
Block 3 (20 min): Work through the generated worksheet together. Discuss difficult items.
Block 4 (15 min): Free practice — student uses the new vocabulary in longer responses.
Assign the remaining worksheet exercises as homework. Generate a separate translation exercise for extra practice.

Teacher Tip
"Save every generated worksheet in a student-specific folder. After 10 lessons, you'll have a personalized vocabulary portfolio with 100-150 items — a powerful revision tool and a tangible record of the student's progress. Students love seeing how far they've come."
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the chat transcript is very short?
add
Even a 15-minute chat typically yields 8-12 teachable items. If the chat is very short, supplement with a related YouTube video or article — DrillKit can combine inputs from multiple sources into one worksheet.
Should I use the same transcript for multiple lessons?
add
One transcript can generate 2-3 lessons worth of material by varying exercise types (gap-fill one week, key word transformation the next). This creates natural spaced repetition for the same vocabulary.
Can I share the lesson plan with students?
add
Share the worksheet, not the full lesson plan. Students benefit from knowing the learning objectives ('Today we'll review phrasal verbs from last week') but don't need the teacher's internal planning notes.
