- Abstract: Automatic grammar coaching serves an important purpose of advising on standard grammar varieties while not imposing social pressures or reinforcing established social roles. Such systems already exist but most of them are for English and few of them offer meaningful feedback. Furthermore, they typically rely completely on neural methods and require huge computational resources which most of the world cannot afford. We propose a grammar coaching system for Spanish that relies on (i) a rich linguistic formalism capable of giving informative feedback; and (ii) a faster parsing algorithm which makes using this formalism practical in a real-world application. The approach is feasible for any language for which there is a computerized grammar and is less reliant on expensive and environmentally costly neural methods. We seek to contribute to Greener AI and to address global education challenges by raising the standards of inclusivity and engagement in grammar coaching.

This paper investigates how Grammarly and ChatGPT affect the English language regarding wordiness vs. conciseness.
Both Grammarly and ChatGPT suggest more conciseness and less verbosity, even for relatively short sentences.

Grammatical error correction (GEC) tools, powered by advanced generative artificial intelligence (AI), competently correct linguistic inaccuracies in user input.
However, they often fall short in providing essential natural language explanations.
In such languages, grammatical error explanation (GEE) systems should not only correct sentences but also provide explanations for errors.

We apply this work to teaching two Indian languages, Kannada and Marathi, which do not have well-developed resources for second language learning.
We extract descriptions from a natural text corpus that answer questions about morphosyntax (learning of word order, agreement, case marking, or word formation) and semantics (learning of vocabulary).
We enlist the help of language educators from schools in North America to perform a manual evaluation, who find the materials have potential to be used for their lesson preparation and learner evaluation.
