In a world where cultural insight is as essential as technical know-how, bilingualism goes beyond...
I analysed three main textbooks used in secondary schools in the region where I live to see how much key vocabulary they shared. Thanks to Text Inspector I discovered that the vocabulary they had was from a disproportionately wide range of levels, from A1 to C2. I also found a high proportion of vocabulary not listed. Thanks! Text Inspector formed an important part of the investigation.
This system is ideal for language professionals, academics and students conducting linguistic research. Overall, I found Text Inspector to be a fascinating tool to explore. It is fast and comprehensive, taking a matter of seconds to produce pages of data, and it allows users to analyse reading, writing and listening texts with great accuracy and reliability. I recommend all English language institutions and teaching professionals wishing to ensure that their materials are pitched at the right level utilise Text Inspector.
