TURET2.0: Thesis Writing Tutor Aimed on Lexical Richness in Students' Texts

Writing thesis is a process of constant interaction between the student and academic advisor, but writing correctly is a complex task for students even if they have the support of a teacher. The elaboration of the thesis document requires the implementation of a methodology and procedures, which constitute the elements of the format and structure in the thesis. This work shows an intelligent tutoring system (TURET2.0) designed in a web platform and which provides a customized tutoring for students in drafting their writings, specifically to evaluate the lexical richness of seven sections of the thesis. Moreover, as a way to motivate students to achieve their goals, some gamification techniques were implemented. The measures used to assess the lexical richness are lexical variety, lexical density and sophistication.
