The New General Service List Project *
The New General Service List Project *
Probably the work I am best known for is actually open-source and free. The New General Service List (NGSL) Project is a collection of 7 corpus-derived, vocabulary lists designed to meet the needs of second language learners of English, each offering the highest coverage in the world for that genre. The NGSL Project also offers a large and growing number of free online learning tools we have either developed ourselves or modified for the NGSL Project.
