Grammarly

Principal function(s): Autonomous learning

An intuitive, helpful and easy-to-use tool with many functions. Grammarly is mainly a grammar checker, but it can also help users write more effectively. It also helps users fine-tune their writing in terms of tone and intention, among others. Grammarly can also be used as a plagiarism checker or a citation generator. Evaluation: The free version of Grammarly is a very useful tool for language learners. It can help them improve their writing, although 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. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. Grammarly offers a website version, a browser extension and a Microsoft Word add-in.

Cost: Free + premium options available
