Langoflow is an AI-driven platform that enables formative writing instruction in elementary schools
The tool is based on successful educational approaches such as formative assessment, genre pedagogy, and differentiated instruction, and it uses AI to remove barriers to fully utilizing these methods.
The result is active learning in the classroom, where students learn more and teachers get a reduced workload.
Technically, Langoflow is a web application where students submit their texts and receive immediate and unlimited feedback, based on the text type. Langoflow provides both praise and constructive feedback grounded in sound pedagogy and curriculum goals.
A companion throughout elementary school.
A tool that promotes and supports the student's development as a writer and a thinking individual
The tool aligns with the curriculum and tracks students' progression from simpler, straightforward genres like descriptive and narrative texts in the early years of elementary school to more complex and sophisticated texts like columns, reports, and lab reports in the later years.
Over the years, the large amount of high-quality feedback helps students develop their language skills, critical thinking, and expand their communicative repertoire. As a result, more students succeed in school and in life, both in a broad sense and in specific terms such as national exam results.
What teachers say about Langoflow:
“This is precisely the kind of feedback I know helps students develop, yet I often struggle to find the time to provide it”
“When I use a chatbot, I have to rewrite the text to fit the lesson, but this one works perfectly as it is”
“Their improved skills with different types of texts will help them learn better in all subjects”
Combining the power of AI with the Swedish curriculum.
A writing coach that fulfills the intentions of the curriculum
We believe that AI should be used to help students reach their full potential in the areas that matter most. That's why Langoflow focuses on language development and writing, which are central to language learning but also essential for all other learning, in accordance with LGR22.
The Swedish curriculum states that students should “develop their linguistic ability to think, communicate, and learn.” The assessment criteria also specify that students should “learn to adapt texts to text type, purpose, audience, and context,” and that they should “be able to follow linguistic norms.” It also emphasizes that students should receive feedback on their texts to develop these linguistic abilities.
Langoflow enables students to develop these skills and provides the feedback they are supposed to receive according to the curriculum.
The Swedish curriculum shares many similarities with other curricula worldwide, and we see that language development and writing are central for students everywhere.
Practice makes perfect
Preparation for national exams
Langoflow also prepares students to write in the text types found in the national exams for grades six and nine in Swedish. This ensures that you, as an education provider, can be confident that students have had many opportunities to receive feedback on their texts in the genres required for the national exams.
Equity increases as it’s not just the students with knowledgeable parents who can practice for the national exams, but all students have access to high-quality and unlimited feedback.
AI that benefits all teachers and all students!
Now that generative AI is here, schools need to utilize it in a way that is equitable, simple, and secure. A professional and user-friendly educational tool is needed to help all teachers successfully integrate AI into their teaching. Only then can all students receive an equal education, supported by AI.
The tool must also make a significant impact on students' academic success and reduce teachers' workload. Langoflow has been developed to meet these needs.
