The number of computerized writing aids has grown dramatically in the past decade. One of the newest and most controversial of these aids is computerized text analysis. This paper reports a study which examined a widely available text analyzer and tested its adaptability for use with a specific population of ESL writers. Though the study found that the text analyzer could be customized to address certain problems ESL writers encounter, important questions remain about the cost and the gains involved in adapting text analysis for the ESL composition classroom.Downloads
