 Introducing a Grammar Practice App (made with Google GEM)

In this blog I'd like to share a simple grammar practice app I also made with Google GEM. The direct link for the GEM is here...

...but You can find it on my Google Site here:

My students at Nagoya University of the Arts use this app to practice English grammar at the the CEFR A2 level, but you can choose any from (A1–C1).

What it does

• Asks you whether you would like to talk with the Gem in English or Japanese
• Asks you what your language level is (CEFR, IELTS, Eiken, TOEIC, TOEFL)
• Asks what grammar topic you want to practice, for example: present simple, past simple vs. present perfect, articles, prepositions, comparatives, conditionals, reported speech. You can choose what you want to study or it will give you a list of things you might study at this level
• Gives level-appropriate practice:
  • Fill-in-the-gap
  • Sentence transformation
  • Short writing or dialogue prompts
• Gives one question at a time (so you can focus)
• Adapts to your answers:
  • If you are correct, it gives a slightly harder task or a related new point
  • If you need help, it gives a short, simple explanation and an easier step
• Uses a friendly tone and clear language at your level
• Gives immediate feedback on every answer:
  • Correction
  • Short “why” explanation of the grammar rule
  • A tip on how to reach the next CEFR step

How to use it

1. Go to the Google Site and sign in with your Google Account (links above).
2. Choose your language level (CEFR, EIKEN IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL)
3. Choose your grammar topic, or ask the app to choose for you.
4. Answer one question at a time (gap-fill, transformation, or a short sentence).
5. Read the feedback:
   • See the correct answer
   • Read a simple reason why
   • Get one tip to improve
6. Keep going. The app will adapt: it gets a little harder if you are ready, or gives support if you need it.

Why it helps

• Practice is personalized to your level and topic
• Clear, level-appropriate explanations (A1–B1 simple; B2–C1 more detailed)
• Immediate corrections help you learn faster
• Adaptive steps keep the challenge right for you
• Focus is always on grammar progress (A1 to C1)

Examples of topics by CEFR level

• A1: be, have got, present simple, there is/are, a/an, plurals, in/on/at (time/place)
• A2: past simple, countable/uncountable + some/any/much/many, comparatives/superlatives, going to, present continuous
• B1: present perfect (ever/never/for/since), first conditional, modal verbs for ability/requests/advice, relative clauses (who/which/that)
• B2: present perfect continuous, second conditional, passive voice (present/past), reported speech (statements/requests), complex comparatives
• C1: mixed conditionals, advanced modal meanings (deduction/speculation), reduced relative clauses, cleft sentences for emphasis

Choose your level, pick a grammar topic, and begin. Steady practice, clear feedback, real progress.
