Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Please find below an announcement for a new corpus-based app aimed at helping your students with their essays and other writing assignments. We hope you will bring it to their attention. It is not a substitute for mentoring, but it is an additional source of
advice, available 'on the go'. We would be grateful if you could encourage your students to use it.<br>
<br>
Feedback on the app is very welcome.<br>
<br>
Apologies for cross-posting.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
