User Guide
Before you begin: Sign in to your ESLvideo.com teacher account to use the features in this guide. Free accounts include access to all features with limited usage. Teacher subscriptions provide much higher usage limits.
Sign in- Click Quizzes in the main menu.
- Browse by English level or collection, or use Search to find a topic, title, or keyword.
- Open a quiz to preview the video and questions.
- When you find one you want to use, open Teacher Tools to share it, add it to a class, or use it in Canvas.
Tip: Students can access all quizzes through the Neo English app. New quizzes are added regularly.
- Go to Create → Quiz.
- Click Let’s Go! and enter the quiz details.
- Add the video you want to use, then click Generate quiz.
- Save and continue to Step 2.
- Edit the questions and answers as needed.
- Click Review Quiz to preview the finished activity before sharing it.
Need a gap-fill? In the Quiz Generator, choose Add a Gap-Fill Quiz, import or paste the text, separate sentences with line breaks, click Apply, then select the word or words you want students to type.
Tip: You can come back later to edit the quiz, add it to a class, share a direct link, or export it for Canvas.
- Click ChattyBots in the main menu.
- Browse the available speaking activities by level, topic, or collection.
- Open a ChattyBot to read the student instructions.
- Allow microphone access and try the activity yourself.
- When the activity ends, use Review when available to see the type of feedback students receive.
Tip: Trying a ChattyBot yourself is the fastest way to understand the student experience before assigning it.
- Open the quiz or ChattyBot you want to use.
- For an embedded activity, copy the Embed Code from Teacher Tools and paste it into the HTML editor of a Canvas Page or Assignment.
- For a Canvas import, choose Teacher Tools → Export to Canvas and download the QTI .zip file.
- In Canvas, open Settings → Import Course Content.
- Choose QTI .zip file, select the file, and click Import.
- Use Student View to confirm that the activity opens the way you expect.
Embed vs. import: Embedding keeps the ESLvideo activity visible inside a Canvas page. Export to Canvas packages the activity for import into the Canvas course. Use the workflow that best matches how you want students to access and submit the activity.
Tip: If you only need students to open and complete the activity, embedding is usually the simplest route. Use Export to Canvas when you want the activity imported as Canvas course content.
- Open the Series you want to use.
- Open the sharing or Teacher Tools options and copy the Series Embed Code.
- In Canvas, open the Page where you want the Series to appear and click Edit.
- Switch to the HTML editor and paste the embed code.
- Save the page and preview it in Student View.
Why use a Series? A Series keeps several related activities together. It is especially useful when you want students to remain inside Canvas while working through a sequence of listening and speaking practice.
Tip: For programs that track student activity inside Canvas, embedding a Series can keep the learning sequence in one Canvas location instead of sending students through multiple separate links.
- Have students download and open the Neo English app on iPhone or Android.
- In ESLvideo.com, open Account → My Classes and choose the class you want students to join.
- Share the class sign-in information or QR option provided for that class.
- Students enter the Class Code and ChattyPass when prompted.
- In the app, students tap My Class to see the quizzes and ChattyBots you assigned with Teacher Tools → Add to Class.
Tip: Neo English works especially well for speaking homework because students can open assigned ChattyBots directly on their phones.
- Open Account → My Classes.
- Choose the class you want to review.
- Open Quiz Scores to see quiz results and sort them by name or date.
- Open the ChattyBot reporting area to review speaking activity and available transcripts.
- Use the reports to check completion, identify students who need follow-up, and review speaking work without collecting separate audio files.
Tip: When students use the ESLvideo sharing and class workflows, their results can be connected back to the teacher’s class reports automatically.
- Open Create and choose the ChattyBot Builder.
- Choose the builder or activity type that fits your goal, such as Dialogue or Custom.
- Add a title and clear student instructions.
- Enter the dialogue, questions, role-play scenario, picture prompt, or other content the activity should use.
- Save the ChattyBot and test it by speaking with it yourself.
- Revise anything that feels unclear, then share it with students by link, class, Canvas, or Neo English.
A simple starting point: Start with one communication goal: introduce yourself, answer interview questions, order food, report a workplace problem, practice a dialogue, or complete a role-play. Build the ChattyBot around that one task.
Tip: Dialogue works well when students should practice a scripted exchange. Custom activities are better when you want open-ended role-plays, scenario discussions, or other AI-guided speaking practice.
- Open the quiz or ChattyBot you want to assign.
- Choose Teacher Tools → Add to Class.
- Select one or more classes and click Add.
- To edit the class itself, open Account → My Classes and select the class.
- Use the Page Text editor to add directions, links, or other information for students.
- Students open My Class and enter the Class Code and ChattyPass to access the assigned content.
Tip: A class page can combine listening and speaking practice in one place—for example, a quiz first, followed by a ChattyBot that asks students to use the same language in conversation.
No tutorial matched that search. Try “quiz,” “Canvas,” “app,” or “class.”
