The MSR ESL Assistant service can be accessed at http://www.eslassistant.com. No registration is required. Further information about the project can be found on the team website at http://research.microsoft.com/Projects/msreslassistant and project updates will posted periodically on the team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/eslassistant. Although the service is still at the prototype stage, we hope that both learners of English and TEFL/TESL professionals will experiment with it and will perhaps even find it useful in its present form. We look forward to feedback, and are especially interested in hearing from teachers who find ways to incorporate this service into their instruction.
