Abstract

This project is the beginning of a revision of a previous research project of the BYU Arabic department known as RAFT (Readable Article Finding Tool). This tool aims to assist learners of second languages with suitable reading material by using a list of vocabulary known by the user and providing the user with a set of articles that contain a high percentage of those known words.
