Questions and answers
Is the question generator free?
Yes. This page works without an account or an email address. The full Spark — student profiles, AI follow-ups, decks and session notes — is part of the Immerly teacher workspace, which has a 14-day free trial with no credit card and then costs $5 per teacher per month.
Which levels does it cover?
CEFR levels A1 to C1. Each question is written for one level, so an A1 question uses simple words and the present simple, while a C1 question can be abstract and idiomatic.
How are the questions made?
They were written for Immerly with the help of AI and then checked: each question was scored in a second, separate review, and only well-rated questions that fit their level were kept. Teachers can hide or report any question inside Spark.
Can I use it on Zoom or Google Meet?
Yes. Share this browser tab in your call, or read the questions aloud. Inside Immerly, Spark also has a clean big-screen window made for screen sharing.
Are the questions suitable for teenagers?
They are written for lessons with adults and teenagers and avoid sexual content, drugs, politics and religion. Inside Spark, sensitive topics are switched off by default.
