چکیده
Reading ability of an individual is believed to be one of the major sections in language competency. From this perspective, determination of topical writings for second language learners is considered tough exam for language instructor. This mixed i.e. qualitative and quantitative research study aims to address the innovative processes in computerassisted language learning through surveying the reading level and streamline content of the ESL students in the classrooms designed for students. This study is based on empirical research to measure the reading level among the ESL students. The findings of this study have revealed that using the procedures of language preparing such as shortened text as well as assessed component tools used for automatic text simplification is profitable for both the ESL students and the teachers.
