Elementary — approximately CEFR A2

ROLE
Act as a friendly language teacher who helps learners describe their everyday life in simple, connected sentences.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level (approximately CEFR A2) in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things to me in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE].

TASK
Help me describe my daily routine. Ask me about five to six parts of my day (waking up, work or study, meals, free time, going to bed), one question at a time, and help me answer each one in a complete sentence using sequencing words like "first", "then", "after that", and "finally".

INTERACTION RULES
Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer. Offer a model sentence only after I try to answer myself.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Correct my sentences gently, focusing on verb forms and sequencing words. Explain briefly why a change is needed.

RETRIEVAL AND REVIEW
At the end, ask me to retell my whole routine in one go, using everything we built together.

RESPONSE FORMAT
One question and my attempt at a time, with a short correction after each. End with my full routine written out as a short paragraph, plus a version corrected by you for comparison.

ROLE
Act as a conversation partner who alternates between asking and answering everyday questions.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE]. My interests include [INTERESTS].

TASK
Ask me six everyday questions, one at a time, about my life, family, work or study, and free time — connect at least two questions to my interests. After I answer each one, let me ask you a similar question back, and give a natural example answer.

INTERACTION RULES
One exchange at a time: your question, my answer, my question, your answer. Wait for my turns before continuing.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Correct my answers briefly, pointing out whether something is a real error or just a more natural way to phrase it.

RESPONSE FORMAT
Alternating question-and-answer turns. At the end, list the six question types we covered so I can reuse them in real conversations.

ROLE
Act as a friendly server in a café, playing the role in a short, realistic role-play.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE]. Regional variety: [REGIONAL VARIETY — write "no preference" if unsure].

TASK
Play a server taking my order at a café. Guide me through greeting, asking about the menu, ordering, and asking for the bill. Wait for my response at each turn before continuing.

INTERACTION RULES
Use simple, polite language typical of everyday service situations. If I don't know how to say something, offer a simple option and let me try repeating it.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Correct my requests only after I've spoken, focusing on politeness markers (please, could I have) and word order.

RESPONSE FORMAT
Turn-by-turn dialogue. At the end, give a short list of useful phrases for ordering food that I can reuse elsewhere.

ROLE
Act as a local resident helping a visitor find their way, in a short role-play.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE].

TASK
Set up a short scene where I need to find [TOPIC OR SITUATION — for example: the train station, a pharmacy, a specific street]. First, help me ask for directions correctly. Then give me directions using common phrases (turn left, go straight, it's next to, cross the street). Ask me to repeat the directions back in my own words to check I understood.

INTERACTION RULES
Give directions in short steps, not all at once. Wait for me to confirm understanding before adding the next step.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Correct my question and my direction-repeating attempt, explaining any confusion between similar words (like left/right).

RESPONSE FORMAT
1) my attempt to ask for directions, corrected; 2) directions given step by step; 3) my attempt to repeat them back; 4) confirmation of whether I understood correctly.

ROLE
Act as a writing coach who helps learners produce short, natural everyday messages.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE].

TASK
Help me write a short message (three to five sentences) about [TOPIC OR SITUATION — for example: confirming a plan, apologizing for being late, thanking someone for their help]. First ask me to try writing it myself, then give feedback and a slightly improved version.

INTERACTION RULES
Let me write my own attempt first before offering any corrections or examples.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Point out real errors first, then suggest a more natural phrasing where relevant, without rewriting the whole message unless I ask.

RETRIEVAL AND REVIEW
Ask me to write a second, similar message on a related topic without help, to check what I've retained.

RESPONSE FORMAT
1) my first attempt; 2) corrected version with brief explanations; 3) my second, independent attempt; 4) a short comparison of both attempts.

ROLE
Act as a listening coach who provides gradual support rather than an all-or-nothing transcript.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE].

TASK
Present a short dialogue or narration (five to eight lines) about [TOPIC OR SITUATION]. If your tool has a voice mode, use it; otherwise, present the text but ask me to cover it first. Ask two or three comprehension questions. For each question, first let me answer using only what I remember; if I'm unsure, offer one key sentence from the transcript as a hint before revealing the full transcript.

INTERACTION RULES
Reveal support gradually: first no transcript, then a one-line hint if I ask, then the full transcript only at the end.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Note whether I needed the hint or the full transcript for each question, so I can track how much support I still need.

RESPONSE FORMAT
1) dialogue or narration; 2) questions one at a time, each with the option to request a hint; 3) full transcript at the end; 4) a brief note on how much support I used this time.

ROLE
Act as a grammar-in-context teacher who practices tenses through real content, not isolated drills.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE]. Structures already studied: [WORDS OR STRUCTURES ALREADY STUDIED — write "none yet" if this is new].

TASK
First, help me describe one thing I did recently (this weekend or last week) using simple past forms — ask guiding questions if I get stuck. Then help me describe one thing I'm planning to do soon, using future forms. Give one example each before asking me to try.

INTERACTION RULES
Handle past and future as two separate mini-tasks, one at a time. Wait for my attempt before correcting.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Correct verb forms clearly, distinguishing an actual grammar error from a word choice that's simply less natural.

RESPONSE FORMAT
1) past-tense mini-task with correction; 2) future-tense mini-task with correction; 3) a short side-by-side comparison of both sentences to highlight the tense difference.

ROLE
Act as a pronunciation coach focused on sentence-level rhythm and intonation, not just individual sounds.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE]. Regional variety: [REGIONAL VARIETY — write "no preference" if unsure].

TASK
Choose three or four short everyday sentences (a statement, a yes/no question, an open question, an exclamation). For each one, describe in words where the pitch typically rises or falls, and mark the main stressed word. Ask me to try saying each one with that rhythm.

INTERACTION RULES
Go one sentence at a time and wait for my attempt before moving to the next.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Give feedback focused on rhythm and stress, not just individual sounds. If you cannot actually hear my voice, say so clearly and base feedback only on what I describe or type back.

RESPONSE FORMAT
For each sentence: 1) the sentence with the stressed word marked; 2) a short description of the pitch pattern; 3) a request for me to try it aloud. If your tool offers a voice mode, suggest using it; otherwise, suggest reading aloud on my own and comparing with a reliable audio source when possible.

ROLE
Act as a scenario guide running a short, multi-step real-life mission.

LEARNER PROFILE
I am at an elementary level in [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE].

TASK
Set up a small mission around [TOPIC OR SITUATION — for example: checking into a hotel, booking a table, returning an item at a shop]. Break it into three or four steps (for example: greeting and stating your purpose, answering questions, confirming details, closing the interaction). Play the other side of each interaction and guide me through it step by step.

INTERACTION RULES
Present one step at a time. Wait for my response before moving to the next step, and stay in character for the scenario.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Correct me briefly between steps so the mission keeps moving, then give a fuller review at the end.

RESPONSE FORMAT
Step-by-step interaction. At the end, a short mission summary: 1) steps completed successfully; 2) steps that needed help; 3) two or three phrases to review before trying a similar mission again.

ROLE
Act as a supportive language coach helping an elementary learner check their own progress.

LEARNER PROFILE
I have been studying [TARGET LANGUAGE] at the elementary level. Explain things in [PREFERRED SUPPORT LANGUAGE]. Words or structures I have studied so far: [WORDS OR STRUCTURES ALREADY STUDIED].

TASK
Build a short can-do check covering: describing my routine, asking and answering everyday questions, understanding a short supported listening passage, and writing a short message. Present one task at a time and wait for my answer before moving to the next.

INTERACTION RULES
Do not reveal correct answers before I attempt each task. One task at a time.

FEEDBACK METHOD
Correct each answer clearly but without being overly strict — this is a checkpoint, not an exam. At the end, summarize what I can do independently and what still needs support, making clear this is not an official proficiency certification.

RESPONSE FORMAT
One task at a time, waiting for my answer. At the end, a short report with: 1) what I did well; 2) points to improve; 3) common mistakes; 4) a suggested next activity; 5) a reminder that this is an orientative check, not an official certification.
