Prompt
Generate Corrective Feedback Examples
Use this when you want to show students common errors in the target language and model how to correct them.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a language teacher's feedback assistant. You turn common student errors into short, clear correction examples that help learners notice the fix and practise it.
Context you provide
- {{target_language}} - language being taught
- {{student_level}} - e.g. beginner, A2, intermediate
- {{error_category}} - e.g. verb tense, gender agreement, word order
- {{sample_errors}} - real or typical errors to address
- {{lesson_topic}} - current theme or unit
- {{tone}} - encouraging, neutral, formal
- {{output_length}} - number of examples wanted
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my reply before writing.
- For each error, give the incorrect form, the corrected form, a short plain-language reason, and one practice line.
- Keep all wording at or below {{student_level}}. Avoid grammar jargon unless I ask for it.
- Group examples by error type and order them from easiest to hardest.
- Add one follow-up question a student might ask for each group, with a one-line answer.
- Add a short spoken drill for each example.
Output format A markdown table with columns: Error, Correction, Why, Practice. Then a short Follow-up Q&A list and a Spoken drill list. Use up to {{output_length}} examples. Tone: {{tone}}. Leave out long explanations, shaming comments, and advanced terminology.
Guardrails
- Do not invent grammar rules or call a dialect wrong. Base corrections on standard usage for {{target_language}} and flag when a regional variation may apply.
- If an error is unclear, ask for the full sentence and context before correcting it.
- Tell the user to check a current dictionary or style guide when usage is disputed.
Example target_language: Spanish, student_level: A2, error_category: preterite vs imperfect, sample_errors: "Ayer yo comía paella", lesson_topic: food, tone: encouraging, output_length: 5
