They can look at sample essays, and then upload their own essays and see what coherence looks like.</p><p>It is especially good at showing whole-document features.</p><p>Once you have analyzed a text, you can SAVE THE URL and give it to your students for an overview of reading or listening.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <title>SiNLP - customize your analysis of student writing (or other texts</title>
         <author>kiwiteach</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/kiwiteach/tkxz1j0lounwfl4c/wish/2980677581</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>SiNLP comes with a minimal set of indices about your text. Some of these are very sensitive to text length, but others (<strong>word length, sentence length</strong>, and to some extent <strong>number of types</strong>) can be useful. The gem  is that you can very easily use a <strong>custom list dictionary</strong> containing up to 20 sets of words, e.g. words from current textbook unit, modals, etc.. Check SiNLP's Readme file for formatting details).</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>There are various ways to assess your students' vocabulary size or level - here's the "Vocabulary Size Test" if you want to check your students' levels BEFORE you start processing vocabulary resources for them. There are some test on LexTutor <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.lextutor.ca/tests/">https://www.lextutor.ca/tests/</a> Another approach is to get samples of students' writing in plain text files and use SiNLP or similar to judge vocabulary levels without overt testing. Kristofer Kyle's TAALES (more up to date) or CRAT tools will give you a LOT of information about lexical sophistication.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Put all the i<strong>nformation you want to share with ALL students</strong> in the top few rows, for example indices, class averages, targets, data from previous iteration etc. Set those top rows as <strong>"title" rows</strong> so that they will be included with any selection you choose to print/export. You can make a macro to export, but it's pretty fast to click each row of student data, and hit "<strong>print selected</strong>" to PDF or mail. Students will receive just their own data plus the title rows.</p>]]></description>
