Learning a new language can feel overwhelming, but focusing on the right building blocks is key. Text Inspector explains the concept of lexical words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) and their importance in language acquisition. Understanding lexical words goes beyond basic grammar and helps learners build a strong foundation for communication.

Acing the IELTS exam is a great achievement, but translating your score into understandable proficiency levels can be tricky. This is where the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) comes in! Text Inspector helps you bridge the gap, providing a clear conversion guide so you can understand your English skills in relation to the CEFR framework.
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.
