AI Peer Review Helper for English Language Learners
Peer review for English language learners requires scaffolding that goes beyond what standard tools offer. An ELL student at proficiency Level 2 cannot write meaningful feedback in English using open-ended prompts, but they have clear perceptions of what is working and not working in a peer's writing. The AI Peer Review Helper generates proficiency-calibrated peer review scaffolds for ELL students: prompts written at the appropriate English proficiency level, sentence starters in the student's home language, and review structures that allow ELL students to contribute meaningfully rather than being excluded.

How ELL and language support teachers Use It
Real peer review scenarios, not generic examples.
An ELL teacher implements peer review for 24 students across three proficiency levels
An ELL teacher has 24 students at three different English proficiency levels. She uses the AI Peer Review Helper with Proficiency-Calibrated mode enabled. The AI generates three versions of the review scaffold (one per level) all reviewing the same assignment but with prompts and sentence starters matched to each level. Level 2 students receive bilingual sentence starters in their home language. Level 4 students receive standard prompts with English starters. All 24 students participate and produce meaningful feedback.
Using bilingual sentence starters to enable peer review for newly arrived students
A recently arrived Grade 7 student from Mexico is in her first month of English instruction. Her teacher enables bilingual mode for this student, selecting Spanish as the home language. The student receives sentence starters in both Spanish and English. She writes her feedback in Spanish, which the teacher can read. Her observations are genuinely useful, her understanding of what makes writing clear is strong, even though her English production is still developing.
Building academic language through structured sentence starters
An ELL coordinator works with a group of Grade 9 students who are academically capable but still developing academic English register. She uses the AI Peer Review Helper to run a series of activities designed to build academic language. Each activity provides sentence starters that model a different academic language function, describing, evaluating, suggesting, questioning. Over six sessions, students begin to use the stems independently in their own feedback, not just in the prompted review.
