“…Sharoff et al ( 2008 ) established parameters for assessing the diffi culty of texts and individual sentences in Russian (and other languages) and mapped the result to the CEFR levels. 7 Methods have also been developed for automatically ranking concordance lines according to their diffi culty by measuring lexical and syntactic complexity and sentence similarity (Segler 2007 ;Kilgarriff et al 2008 ;Kotani et al 2008 ). As additional options for sorting the concordance lines we have integrated a relatively straightforward lexical match using the frequency-based CEFR-annotated lists (Kilgarriff 2010 ).…”

Educational Linguistics

Educational Linguistics is dedicated to innovative studies of language use and language learning. The series is based on the idea that there is a need for studies that break barriers. Accordingly, it provides a space for research that crosses traditional disciplinary, theoretical, and/or methodological boundaries in ways that advance knowledge about language (in) education. The series focuses on critical and contextualized work that offers alternatives to current approaches as well as practical, substantive ways forward. Contributions explore the dynamic and multi-layered nature of theorypractice relationships, creative applications of linguistic and symbolic resources, individual and societal considerations, and diverse social spaces related to language learning.The series publishes in-depth studies of educational innovation in contexts throughout the world: issues of linguistic equity and diversity; educational language policy; revalorization of indigenous languages; socially responsible (additional) language teaching; language assessment; fi rst-and additional language literacy; language teacher education; language development and socialization in non-traditional settings; the integration of language across academic subjects; language and technology; and other relevant topics.
