    the Université Catholique de Louvain; contact: Sylvie de Cock

    More information on the above error tagging system is given in Dagneaux et
    al

    2) Microsoft Word-2000

    3) COALA, a tool for 'semi-automatic' interlanguage analysis (which
    essentially meant incrementing annotations in a relational database).

    4) a system developed by Donald Loritz and some of his Ph.D. students at
    Georgetown University. contact: Don.Loritz@ambercon.net.

    5) NativeEnglish Writing Assistant developed by L&H. More info can be found
    on L&H's web site < http://www.lhsl.com/> under the name CorrectEnglish

    6) Cambridge Leaners' Corpus: a 3-million-word manual tagged corpus of
    learners' examination scripts by the Cambridge University Press
