What is WERTi?

WERTi was originally conceived at Ohio State University by Detmar Meurers and his research associates. It is a system designed to aid second language acquisition of adult learners by employing tools commonly used in computational linguistics to analyze linguistic patterns. Those patterns can then be used to enhance text in a way that is supposed to make the reader aware of them, and ultimately proficient in producing and using them.

WERTi uses the Internet as a source of Text. A user will typically request a web page, which is then sent to the server and processed there. A result is then cached and sent back to the user. The results typically contain JavaScript code to realise enhancement strategies.

This version of WERTi is currently not deployed on a public server. You can find the original Python WERTi here

Installation
