Explore insights from the latest TeacherMatic Language Teaching Takeoff Webinar with Nik Peachey, during which he demonstrated how AI can streamline CEFR adaptation, support differentiated instruction and make CEFR alignment practical and achievable.
Smarter Content for Every Level: CEFR Adaptation and Alignment with TeacherMatic
London, June 2025 – In the latest TeacherMatic Language Teaching Takeoff Webinar, ‘Adapting Content for Effective CEFR-Aligned Language Teaching’, award-winning educator and edtech consultant Nik Peachey demonstrated how AI can transform the way teachers align content to the CEFR framework. Moderated by Giada Brisotto, Senior Marketing & Sales Operations Manager at Avallain, the session introduced teachers to time-saving tools specifically tailored to language classrooms.
Designing for Language Classrooms, Not Just Outputs
Unlike generic AI tools that produce unpredictable or overly complex content, the TeacherMatic Language Teaching Edition is built around a core understanding of language teaching workflows. Nik opened the session with an overview of the platform and shared how it was purpose-built for educators:
‘These generators aren’t just text tools. They’re designed with real classroom needs in mind. You input your goals, level and theme, and the results are ready to use or refine.’
Developed in collaboration with educators, the platform includes over 40 AI generators that can adapt reading texts, create scaffolded tasks and provide differentiated resources based on CEFR levels.
Exploring the Generators
To help educators address common challenges, Nik focused the session on two powerful generators:
Adapt Your Content Generator
This generator allows teachers to input and adjust a text to a different CEFR level. It’s beneficial for mixed-ability groups, enabling the creation of simpler or more advanced versions of the same content, without changing the theme.
‘You can take something at B2 and make it work for A2 in seconds, and the results aren’t just accurate. They’re pedagogically useful.’ – Nik Peachey.
CEFR Level Checker
This tool allows teachers to paste or upload text and instantly receive a detailed CEFR analysis. It provides an overall level and a breakdown of linguistic features such as vocabulary and grammar complexity.
‘It’s great for checking the level of materials you’re designing for your students. It can also be used to analyse students’ written work or evaluate authentic texts pulled from the internet.’ – Nik Peachey.
Adapting to Your Students
Nik highlighted the platform’s flexibility as one of its key advantages. Whether dealing with mixed-ability groups or looking to differentiate instruction, you can adapt materials instantly.
‘It’s not just about saving time. It’s about creating something that actually works for your learners faster.’ – Nik Peachey.
Teachers can generate different versions of the same resource for different groups. With just a few clicks, a B1 reading passage can be simplified to A2 or made more challenging for B2 learners.
Built with Teachers in Mind
Unlike general-purpose AI platforms, the TeacherMatic Language Teaching Edition generators are fine-tuned for language education. Nik explained that the behind-the-scenes work of AI developers ensures consistency and relevance in every output.
The CEFR Level Checker, for instance, has been rigorously tested to provide more accurate results than a generic prompt. This design means less trial and error and more reliable results for teachers pressed for time.
Real Concerns, Real Solutions
Attendees asked about prompt quality, language combinations and how CEFR logic is applied behind the scenes. Nik explained that while CEFR is a flexible framework, the generators have been carefully built around the functional descriptors educators rely on most. Giada added that this work is supported by a collaboration with NILE and CEFR expert Helen Boyd to ensure rigorous alignment that reflects academic best practice.
Nik also encouraged teachers to review outputs with their own learners in mind. The platform is a tool, not a finished product. It empowers educators to shape content, not simply consume it.
