Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A Web application which supports non-native speakers of English to write technical documents in English was developed. This application presents English texts extracted from corpora, with high similarities with the original English texts input by users, and also with a provision of a series of generalized form of the original sentence extracted by the application, if necessary. Additionally, the function of personalization is employed which guesses language levels of individual users based on their study logs. Allowing the open access of such a Web application on the web will enable students of science majors to have a better learning environment of technical English composition.
