DrillKit is an AI-powered tool that turns your online lesson chat from Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, or Microsoft Teams into professional, print-ready ESL lessons in under 30 seconds. It automatically extracts vocabulary, generates exercises (gap-fill, error correction, vocab match, word formation, and more), and produces beautiful PDFs tailored to the student's CEFR level and native language.

Does DrillKit support Zoom chats?

Yes! Simply copy the chat text from your Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, or Microsoft Teams lesson and paste it directly into the input area. You can also paste vocabulary lists or handwritten notes. DrillKit's AI strips out timestamps, sender names, and other noise automatically.

Can I export lessons to PDF?

Absolutely. Every lesson is generated as a high-quality, print-ready PDF. Pro users can also export to Google Docs and customize branding with their school logo and accent colors.

Which languages are supported?

DrillKit supports translations in 11 languages: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Turkish, and Russian. The AI auto-detects the student's native language from the chat transcript.

DrillKit generates 11 exercise types: Gap Fill, Vocab Match, Error Correction, Sentence Completion, Multiple Choice, Word Scramble, Sentence Reorder, Translation, Word Formation (Cambridge Part 3), Key Word Transformation (Cambridge Part 4), and Dialogue Builder.

How does the AI extract vocabulary from chat transcripts?

The AI scans your pasted chat transcript, strips out noise (timestamps, reactions, media placeholders), identifies teachable vocabulary, phrasal verbs, idioms, and student errors, then scores each item by relevance. You review and select the best items before generating exercises.

Is DrillKit free to use?

Yes! The free plan includes 20 generations per month with full access to all 13 exercise types, all lesson styles, and custom branding. The Pro plan ($4.99/month or $3.33/month billed yearly) unlocks unlimited generations and priority AI processing.

Can I customize the lesson with my school branding?

Pro users can add their school or institution name, choose custom accent colors, select from 5 lesson styles (Standard, Classic, Modern, Playful, Academic), and add footer text to every generated lesson.

Teaching English Word Order in ESL: SVO, Adjectives & Adverbs

Why Word Order Is Make-or-Break in English

In Japanese, you can put the subject, object, and verb in almost any order and the sentence still works — particles mark each word's grammatical role. In Russian, case endings do the same job. In English, we have almost no case endings and no particles. Word order IS our grammar. 'The dog bit the man' and 'The man bit the dog' use identical words — word order alone determines who's biting whom. For students whose L1 allows flexible order (Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic), English word order rigidity is a constant source of errors. For students from SVO languages (French, Spanish, Chinese), the basic order feels natural but adjective placement, adverb position, and question formation create interference.

The Three Word Order Rules

📏

SVO (Subject-Verb-Object)

'She (S) reads (V) books (O).' English is rigidly SVO in statements. Errors appear when students transfer SOV order (Japanese, Turkish) or VSO order (Arabic). In questions, the auxiliary moves before the subject: 'Does she read books?'

🎨

Adjective Order (OSASCOMP)

Multiple adjectives follow a fixed order: Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, Purpose. 'A beautiful (O) small (S) old (A) round (Sh) red (C) Italian (Or) wooden (M) dining (P) table.' You can't say 'a wooden Italian red old small beautiful table.'

⏰

Adverb Placement (MPT)

Time/place adverbs go at the END: 'I work in London.' Frequency adverbs go BEFORE the main verb: 'I always work.' 'She never eats meat.' Manner-Place-Time order for end adverbs: 'She sang beautifully (M) at the concert (P) last night (T).'

Teacher Tip

“Native speakers don't learn adjective order as a rule — they absorb it from exposure. For ESL students, give 10 sentences with correctly ordered adjectives and 10 with incorrectly ordered adjectives. Ask: 'Which ones sound wrong?' Students can often FEEL the error without knowing the rule. This noticing activity builds the same intuition. Only introduce OSASCOMP as a reference tool after they've developed some intuitive sense. In practice, most real sentences have at most 2-3 adjectives, making the order less overwhelming than the 8-category rule suggests.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the basic word order in English?

add

English uses Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order in statements: 'She (S) ate (V) the cake (O).' In questions, an auxiliary verb moves before the subject: 'Did she eat the cake?' This rigid order distinguishes English from languages with flexible word order that use case endings or particles instead.

What is the correct adjective order in English?

add

When multiple adjectives modify a noun, they follow the OSASCOMP order: Opinion (lovely), Size (big), Age (old), Shape (round), Color (blue), Origin (French), Material (silk), Purpose (evening). Example: 'a lovely big old blue French silk evening dress.' In practice, sentences rarely have more than 2-3 adjectives.

Where do adverbs go in English sentences?

add

Frequency adverbs (always, usually, never) go before the main verb but after 'be': 'I always walk' but 'She is always late.' Time and place adverbs go at the end: 'I work here,' 'She left yesterday.' When both appear, Manner-Place-Time order applies: 'She drove carefully through the city yesterday.'
