Software Construction for the Estimation of the Linguistic Level and Test Difficulty
Keywords:
Linguistic level software, test, linguistic level, text, readability ratesAbstract
For this survey a new linguistic level evaluation and test measurement software has been created. This particular software has assisted in detection matters regarding readability and it has also allowed text readability measurement with the use of common grading systems, including readability measurement formulas. This system accepts various examination topics, which are classified according to the level of difficulty and where all kinds of tests are represented and it controls all the linguistic level and difficulty goals. The choice of topics and its inclusion is conducted with the sampling method. During this experimental application of our software, a field survey was conducted during which not only university students but also a lot of internet users were called to evaluate this programme.
