Choose one teaching problem you already have, such as checking whether learners can form past-simple questions. Evaluate one complete cycle—assign, practise, review and follow up—before deciding whether the platform fits your class. These are suggested stages, not a fixed schedule or a promised learning gain.
Worked example: After past-simple question practice, ask learners to write a new question about yesterday. A learner who completes the online exercise correctly but writes Did you went? still needs support producing the base form. Use both responses to plan the next step. This is an illustrative scenario, not a reported classroom result.
For a class with different support needs, adapt the shared task in the mixed-ability lesson plan. The four public toolkit packs are free to read and download without registering, separate from the online subscription.
Four things have to happen before a class is running, in this order. Everything below describes the actual screens, not a simplified version of them.
Open Create Class, name the class, and press Create Class. The platform generates a unique class code for it. That code ties student accounts to your class and remains available on the same screen. Classes can be renamed later using Save. A teacher account has two class slots, with up to 30 students in each class.
This is the step most teachers expect to be painful, and it is the one deliberately built to avoid it. Students do not need email addresses and do not register themselves.
Open Create Students, choose your class under Select your class, then use Generate usernames and passwords automatically. The platform creates credentials for the whole class at once. Press Create Students to confirm.
Then press Download as PDF. That gives you a printable sheet of every student's username and password, which you can cut up and hand out. Keep the credential sheet private and give each learner only their own login details. Check access on your class devices before setting homework.
A teacher plan covers up to 60 student accounts across two classes of up to 30 each, with no per-student fee. The total cannot be allocated to a single class of 60.
Open Create New Assignment. You choose:
One assignment can mix skills. You are not restricted to a single type, so a week's homework can be two grammar topics, one reading and one piece of writing in a single item rather than four separate ones.
The assignment overview shows completed and required task counts for each learner and the class. Separate activity overviews show their available scores and records. Grammar and vocabulary activities use configured answers; standard reading and listening use multiple-choice answer keys. Reading RoboTeacher is a separate AI-supported activity. Learners receive AI feedback on writing; the teacher writing overview reports saved final marks. Ask learners to share their text and feedback through your usual classroom process if you want to review them together.
Use missing completion as a prompt to check access and ask about the task. A zero does not prove that a learner has not tried: an attempt may not yet meet the activity's completion rule.
New completion credit is recorded during the assignment's start and end window. After the deadline, separate practice remains subject to available modules and account access. Editing dates later does not necessarily remove previously linked completion records.
Students go to thekingdomofenglish.com and sign in with the username and password from the PDF you handed out. No installation is required for browser access. Any device with a modern browser works, including school tablets and phones.
The Kingdom of English is a web-based English language practice platform designed for ESL (English as a Second Language) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) contexts. It was created in 2023 by David Satler, a teacher with more than a decade of classroom experience teaching English in Austria.
The platform was built to address specific problems that ESL and EFL teachers face when using generic digital tools: complicated setup processes, poor homework accountability, limited content coverage, and pricing models designed for institutions rather than individual teachers. The creator page describes the teaching background behind the platform.
The platform runs entirely in the browser. No installation is required to use the website. Students and teachers access it at thekingdomofenglish.com on any device with a modern web browser.
The teacher account is designed for individual ESL and EFL teachers managing class practice. Teachers can create up to 60 student accounts and set class assignments with dates, selected topics and completion targets. Grammar, writing and vocabulary offer listed items to select; standard reading and listening use counts rather than individual passages or recordings. The activity overviews show different records for different practice areas, which teachers can combine with classroom work when deciding what to teach next.
During the trial or with an active subscription, an individual account provides access to the premium practice modules for self-directed learners. This includes the dated grammar topic catalogue, all reading and listening exercises, writing practice with AI feedback, vocabulary training, and the language games. Progress tracking and gamification features are included.
Grammar topics use our own easy, medium and hard difficulty bands. These are not CEFR certifications or a placement result. Preview the instructions, vocabulary and response format before assigning a task; use the dated topic list when planning. Grammar topics include areas such as present perfect vs past simple, reported speech, passive voice, conditionals, relative clauses, gerunds and infinitives, articles, and prepositions.
Standard reading and listening practice use multiple-choice questions checked against stored answers. Reading RoboTeacher is a separate AI-supported reading activity. Writing feedback also uses AI. These modes should not be treated as the same assessment.
| Activity | Response and feedback | Teacher follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Standard reading | Multiple-choice answers, checked against an answer key. | Ask the learner to identify evidence in the text, especially after a correct guess. |
| Standard listening | Multiple-choice answers, checked against an answer key. | Check audio access and ask which detail supports the answer. |
| Reading RoboTeacher | A separate AI-supported reading interaction. | Review surprising feedback rather than assuming every generated response is correct. |
| Writing | The learner writes a response and receives AI feedback. | Read the original work alongside the feedback and check whether a suggested revision preserves its meaning. |
AI feedback can be incomplete or mistaken. A generated score is not a certified proficiency result, and activity completion alone does not prove lasting learning. For a classroom speaking task, use the printable speaking rubric as an observation aid; it is separate from the platform's online marking.
CLASS OVERVIEW opens separate views for assignments, reading, listening, grammar, writing and Reading Roboteacher. Open or refresh the relevant view to inspect its saved records. The progress guide explains how to interpret:
Teachers create student accounts directly from the dashboard. Students do not need their own email addresses to join. Check login on the devices your class will use before setting work. The assignment workflow makes it practical to turn that setup into regular homework and follow-up.
The platform records and rewards activity through four mechanisms. These are not direct measures of language proficiency:
The teacher plan includes up to 60 student accounts at no additional per-student cost. A subscription includes full access to all content, features, and games. Registration starts with a 7-day full-access trial and requires no credit card. Grammar and Games remain free after the trial.
For institutions needing multiple teacher accounts, custom pricing is available by contacting [email protected].
This guide is published by The Kingdom of English. A worksheet library, a classroom game and an assignment platform solve different problems; the table below is a selection aid, not a claim that every competing product lacks a feature.
| Your immediate need | What to check before choosing |
|---|---|
| Printable material for tomorrow | Open the free teacher toolkit. Check the learner task, model answers and writing space before printing. These packs need no account. |
| A reusable classroom game | Compare devices, editing, print and assignment options in the Wordwall alternatives guide. |
| Tracked practice between lessons | Test a small assignment through the complete cycle: login, task, deadline and the teacher's result view. Confirm that the information helps you plan the next lesson. |
| Formal proficiency assessment | Check the assessment's validation and intended use. Our difficulty bands and classroom rubrics do not establish an official CEFR certification. |
If you want a more focused look at how the platform works in practice, these guides go deeper into assignments, skill practice, and classroom use:
The Kingdom of English was created by David Satler, an ESL and EFL teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching English in Austria. Originally from Slovenia, David's experience learning multiple languages informed his approach to building a practice platform that addresses real classroom needs.
The first version of the platform launched in January 2023. Since then, it has been continuously developed and refined based on direct classroom use and student feedback. The platform represents more than two years of dedicated development work.
