Sun, Sep 7, 14:35-16:15 Asia/Tokyo

The NGSL Profiler is a new corpus-based tool designed to help create and/or simplify learning materials to the level of the learner. It is one of the latest additions to the New General Service List Project, a large and growing collection of free, open source vocabulary words lists and online teaching and learning tools. Designed along the lines of other excellent profiling tools such as OGTE (Browne & Waring), AntWordProfiler (Anthony) and VocabProfile (Cobb), the NGSL Profiler tries to focus more specifically on the needs of teachers and content developers utilizing one or more of the NGSL word lists. In addition to an easy and intuitive profiling tool, there is also an AI-powered tool which helps teachers to quickly create original fiction texts as well as another tool which helps teachers to quickly shorten and simplify texts to one of 5 levels of difficulty.
