Introduction (1/3)
Background
English language has become a
international language
English learning has always been
substantially difficult for ESL/EFL students
English tenses
play an important part in
account for explaining the temporal
background of English sentence
Applying AI technologies
to assist English
learning attracts researchers from various
fields
Introduction (2/3)
Motivation
Conventional examinations usually give students
nothing but their scores, which is not really help
them to improve their studies
Hence, we propose
ET-DES
(

ET-DES is able to
identify English learners’deficiency of tenses on English
verb tenses
provide learners with individualized learning suggestions
