Who's behind English, no kidding
English, no kidding is built and maintained by Vito Schiuma. Every one of the 32 guides on the blog and every one of the teaching guides is written under the byline Prof. Vito Schiuma, and this page is where that byline actually links.
What English, no kidding is
An AI-powered classroom tool for ESL and EFL teachers. 26 apps generate fresh, CEFR-calibrated speaking, grammar, and vocabulary activities on demand — grammar drills, roleplays, debates, exam practice — so a class never runs the same worksheet twice. Every app runs on the same underlying framework, referred to internally as DOE: load the game's blueprint and the CEFR constraints for the level chosen, assemble those constraints into the prompt, generate, and validate the output against the CEFR spec before a student ever sees it.
Also built by the same author
Writing, no Kidding — a companion AI-assisted writing assessment platform for ESL teachers, covering the skill English, no kidding doesn't: written feedback on grammar, vocabulary, register, and structure, with the teacher reviewing every grade before it's delivered.
