Todirascu, Amalia; Cargill, Marion
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2019 Conference (27th, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, Aug 28-31, 2019)
We present SimpleApprenant, a platform aiming to improve French L2 learners' knowledge of Multi Word Expressions (MWEs). SimpleApprenant integrates an MWE database annotated with the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR) level and several Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools: a spelling checker, a parser, and a set of transformation rules. NLP tools and resources are used to build training and writing exercises to improve MWE knowledge and writing skills of French L2 learners. We present the user scenarios, the platform's architecture, as well as the preliminary evaluation of its NLP tools. [For the complete proceedings, see ED600837.]
