Expanding language learning through accessibility and flexibility
​
​Language centers today face a common challenge: offering students effective, on-demand practice options outside the classroom. Many students juggle busy schedules or live far from language centers, making regular in-person practice difficult. Our CEFR-aligned AI chatbots provide a solution by allowing students to engage in language practice anytime and anywhere—whether at home, in transit, or during short breaks.
​
What French Lab brings to Language centers
French Lab has developed AI-powered chatbots tailored to each center’s language programs, supporting various languages of instruction and multiple foreign language studies. These chatbots, accessible on popular messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger, offer a comprehensive range of activities aligned with the CEFR framework. Students can engage in level tests, structured lessons, assessments, and various AI-driven exercises, including text-based conversations, role plays, vocabulary building, and grammar activities grounded in real-life scenarios. With adaptive tools, students receive personalized feedback that reinforces in-class learning and supports their progress through CEFR levels.
