What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll be using Twee to take any YouTube video and automatically generate a complete set of ESL learning activities — comprehension questions, vocabulary exercises, discussion prompts, and gap-fill activities — in under 3 minutes. Authentic video content (news clips, how-to videos, interviews, workplace scenarios) is powerful for ESL learners, but creating activities from scratch takes 30–45 minutes. Twee does it in 2 minutes.
What you'll need
- A free Twee account at app.twee.com (sign up with Google)
- A YouTube video URL relevant to your lesson topic
- The proficiency level of your students (A1/A2/B1/B2)
- Time needed: 10 minutes to set up; 2-3 minutes per video after that
- Cost: Free (limited uses); Twee Pro is $9/month for unlimited use
