FAQ

Treat every AI grade as a first draft. It is scored against your rubric and shows which band the student landed in and why, so you can check its reasoning instead of taking a number on faith. You can edit any score or comment, or regrade a submission, and the grade that counts is the one you leave.

No tool can promise that, so Lingua gives you evidence instead. Secure Testing logs every time a student leaves the tab and for how long, pasting can be blocked, and in-browser AI assistants are detected. You can also assign work that is hard to outsource: handwritten drafts uploaded as a photo, recorded orals, and live voice conversations.

Everything. Rewrite a passage or script, change, reorder or add questions, adjust point values, and regenerate only the part you didn't like. You set the topic, vocabulary, grammar and proficiency level before anything is created, and grading uses your rubric, not a generic one.

If you allow it. You choose how many attempts an assignment gets. Chat and voice conversations can be practiced as often as a student likes, and their best attempt is the one that counts.

Quetzalita is the built-in AI tutor students can ask for help while they work. You switch it on or off per assignment and choose how much it may help, from word meanings only up to checking an answer after the student has tried. It never writes the work for them, and it is switched off automatically during Secure Testing.

The Free plan lets you create any assignment and print or export it. With the Institution plan your students join your courses, do the work in Lingua and are graded automatically. To try that with your classes, request a school trial.

Yes. Reading, listening, writing, oral and quiz assignments all print as a student copy with a separate teacher answer key or grading sheet, so you can build in Lingua and run the lesson on paper.

Spanish, French, German, Italian and English (ESOL), and more are added on request: tell us which one you teach. You set a proficiency level for each course, from Novice through Advanced, and everything Lingua generates for that course is written at that level.

No, it works alongside it. Students can open Lingua from your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, etc.) and their grades flow back to its gradebook. If you would rather move grades yourself, any gradebook exports as a CSV file.

No. Lingua runs in the browser for both teachers and students, including Secure Testing. Speaking assignments and voice conversations need a microphone.

Start with the tutorial videos: one general walkthrough and a short one for each assignment type. Inside Lingua, Deo, the AI teacher agent, can build and edit assignments for you from a plain-language request.

Yes. LinguaVerse is the teacher community inside Lingua: publish an assignment you made, download one from another teacher straight into your class, and follow teachers whose work you like.

Students join a course with a join code, or open Lingua straight from your LMS, which signs them in without a separate password. Lingua is for students aged 13 and older.

They are never sold, never used for advertising and never used to train AI models. Data is encrypted and stored in the US, and you or your school can have it deleted. The details, in plain language, are in the Privacy Center.

Yes. We're glad to sign a DPA, working from your district's template or ours, and to complete your vendor questionnaire. Start at the Privacy Center or the Trust Center.

No. Lingua is built to align with those frameworks, but it is not affiliated with or endorsed by ACTFL, the College Board or the International Baccalaureate. Its IB-style formats and rubrics are adaptations for classroom practice, not official materials.
