How to Use the Generator
Here are a few tips on how to make the most of the tool.
STEP 1: CREATE
- Start with your Learning Objective, e.g. Making suggestions, or discussing plans, etc.
- Describe the Setting, specifying the who, where and when, and other important details for the context of the conversation. For example, two exchange students at a language school deciding how to spend the weekend.
- Provide Specific Constraints for the dialogue, e.g., phrasal verbs or idioms related to travelling. You can also specify particular grammar or vocabulary items, like a list of particular words or phrases that you’d like to be used in the conversation.
You can also mention the style, tone, or format you prefer, and provide any additional instructions for the LLM, for example, if you need the dialogue to be more formal or informal. In essence, this field is your personalisation handle – use it to specify what you’d like your dialogue to look and sound like.
Add student age and proficiency level. This helps adjust tone, vocabulary, and complexity.
STEP 2: EDIT & SAVE
Edit & make an audio: To edit the dialogue, click on any part you’d like to change. You can delete text or type your own.
When you’re happy with the dialogue, you can copy it (click ‘Copy’) and use Gemini Speech Generation to create your audio. The dialogue script follows the same structure used in the Google AI Studio so you can simply paste it in its raw format, no extra editing needed. Choose your synthetic voices for Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 and click ‘Run’ to get your audio.
Preparing a Worksheet
The worksheet will feature a version of the dialogue based on your activity type (see some suggested activities below), and the full dialogue for your reference.
Highlight: If you’d like any words or phrases to be highlighted in bold, click ‘Highlight’ and then select the words you want.
Gap-Fill: Click on ‘Gap-Fill’ and then select the words you’d like to remove to create a gap-fill activity for your students.
Save as PDF: After you’ve made all the necessary changes, click ‘Save as PDF’ to save the dialogue in both versions — one for students, and one answer key for you with the original dialogue.

Thanks so much for sharing this great tool! Bookmarking and will definitely use and reuse! 👏🏼
Thanks, Rachel! I’m using an experimental model here (and in the Task Tweaker, which is great with teacher trainees alongside Thornbury’s R is for Repetition. Might be handy for your CELTA/DELTA folks!) So I’m really glad it’s running smoothly!
