We have proposed a method of automating this preparation process (Utiyama et al., 2004). We have found that our reading materials prepared from The Daily Yomiuri were effective in vocabulary learning (Tanimura and Utiyama, in preparation).</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> Our next goal is to distribute courseware (produced with our algorithm) to EFL teachers and learners so that we can receive wider feedback. To this end, we replaced The Daily Yomiuri, which is copyrighted, with the English Wikipedia, which is a free-content encyclopedia, and developed new courseware whose statistics were presented and discussed in this paper. This courseware, which is available on our web site, can be used to supplement classroom learning activities as well as self-study.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="2"> We hope it will help EFL learners to learn and teachers to teach a broader range of vocabulary.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
