Abstract

We developed a tool that helps EFL (English as a foreign language) students to explicitly represent a sentence as a parsing tree. Firstly, the tool generates a sequence of questions from a partial-parsed parsing tree of a sentence, and secondly a software agent provides these questions sequentially to students during the process of reading. By correctly answering to these questions, step-by-step, the students are able to learn how to separate the words, word groups, and phrases of the sentence and organize them into a tree structure
