Grammarly is a writing assistant tool designed to improve grammar, punctuation, and clarity in written content. With its help, users can check their writing for grammatical errors, punctuation mistakes, and unclear phrasing. Grammarly offers suggestions and corrections in real time as users type, helping them enhance the quality and readability of their writing. It also offers functionalities such as plagiarism checking or generating citations. Grammarly offers a limited free version and requires users to sign up for an account to access all of its features. Grammarly was developed by a team of linguists and technologists led by Alex Shevchenko and Max Lytvyn.
Evaluation: Grammarly is a useful tool for language learners since it can help them improve their writing. However, this tool should be used proactively, meaning that users should try to pay attention to their mistakes, reflect on them, and internalise the corrections proposed by Grammarly. It is important to note that, sometimes, Grammarly offers unneeded corrections, so critical thinking by writers is key. Its interface is intuitive and easy to use. For teachers, it can facilitate checking the spelling of students’ assignments. Grammarly offers a website version, a browser extension, and a Microsoft Word add-in.
Cost: Free limited version + paid options available.
