Construcción de contenido para un Sistema Tutor Inteligente en idiomas: un estudio piloto con el corpus OneStopEnglish
Resumen
Durante la adquisición de un idioma extranjero, la lectura representa una de las oportunidades de acercamiento al lenguaje. Sin embargo, los textos inadecuados pueden desencadenar una experiencia contraproducente para un estudiante, por ello, en los cursos regulares, los docentes utilizan su experiencia o la de un equipo editorial para seleccionar las lecturas. En un sistema automático como en un Sistema Tutor Inteligente, es prioritario realizar recomendaciones adecuadas al perfil del alumno. No basta conocer el nivel de idioma del texto, El presente trabajo aplica herramientas para clasificar una muestra de textos extraídos del corpus OneStopEnglish conforme al Marco Común de Referencia Europeo, crea grupos temáticos con análisis semántico latente (LSA), y aplica tres métricas populares de lecturabilidad como un referente para recomendar textos a los estudiantes.
