Me & My Researcho Computational background

o AFL for Engineering English

Re-evaluationo Intuitively, the results weren’t useful
o Confusion
o Martinez & Schmitt’s PHRASE Listo Intuitive criteria

Problemso AFL approacho results not sufficiently usefulo are the assumptions warranted?
o PHRASE List approacho Criteria very intuitiveo Hand-sorting 15,000 items

Liking my intuitionso Needs to be useful for learners
o Should be difficult language
o How can we determine the language that will be difficult?
