4 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper we have addressed an empirical effort to establish a typical sequence of acquisition for deaf learners of written English. Our initial results show much promise and are consistent in many ways with intuition. Future work will apply the same methodology but expand beyond the analysis of user errors to the analysis of the complete image of user performance, including those structures which a user can successfully execute.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> When completed, our model will enable a complex tutoring tool to intelligently navigate through multiple competing parses of user text and to focus language instruction where it will do the most good for the learner, exhibiting a highly desirable adaptability to a broad range of users and addressing a literacy issue in a population who could greatly benefit from such a tool.</Paragraph>
