NGSL Profiler & Text Tools

What the Profiler Does:

• Analyzes text difficulty in relation to any NGSL word list

• Calculates lexical coverage at your chosen list and level

• Identifies out-of-level vocabulary

• Automatically accounts for 100,000+ proper nouns

• Allows manual adjustment based on learner knowledge

Simply paste a text, select your word list and level, and run the analysis.

If coverage falls below approximately 90%, the text may require lexical adjustment. Revise strategically and re-profile until the text aligns with your instructional goals.

This provides a clear, research-based benchmark rather than guesswork.

Designed for Real Classroom & Publishing Use:

Many profiling tools were built primarily for research contexts.

The NGSL Profiler was designed for:

• Classroom teachers

• Materials writers

• Curriculum designers

• Publishers developing graded materials

• Researchers working with lexical coverage

It combines corpus-based word lists with a practical interface that supports real decision-making.

Included Text Tools:

In addition to the Profiler, the platform includes two AI-supported tools:

Text Generator
Creates short original non-fiction texts in accessible, easy English.

Text Rewriter
Shortens longer texts, reducing overall length and sentence length while preserving core meaning.

Together, these tools support a practical workflow:
Analyze → Adjust → Shorten → Re-check.

For Institutions & Publishing Teams:

The NGSL framework has been used internationally in:

• Graded reader development

• Exam preparation alignment

• Curriculum design

• Lexical benchmarking research

If your institution or publishing team is interested in lexical framework alignment, word list integration, or controlled vocabulary development, consultancy support is available.
