We present SimpleApprenant, a platform aiming to improve French L2
learners’ knowledge of Multi Word Expressions (MWEs). SimpleApprenant
integrates an MWE database annotated with the Common European Framework of
Reference for languages (CEFR) level and several Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tools: a spelling checker, a parser, and a set of transformation
rules. NLP tools and resources are used to build training and writing
exercises to improve MWE knowledge and writing skills of French L2 learners.
We present the user scenarios, the platform’s architecture, as well as the
preliminary evaluation of its NLP tools.
