| Research Abstract |
The goal of our research is to offer EFL/ESL teachers effective text analysis tools including the following: Word-Frequency Counter, Phrase-Frequency Counter, Spell/Grammar Checker, Sentence-Beginning Checker, Sentence-Ending Checker, and Readability Checker.
These tools enable teachers to develop EFL/ESL reading materials cooperatively, using Facebook and Cloud storage network services. Additionally, these tools are integrated into an MS Word platform: teachers can create reading materials effectively without needing to constantly switch between discrete software packages and MS Word, when developing content for students.
