متى تستخدمه

Use McAlpine EFLAW when writing for non-native English readers — product copy for global audiences, ESL teaching material, simplified news, plain-language guidelines. It rewards short common words, which is exactly what ESL readers need.

المقارنة

EFLAW is unique in rewarding short common words ("the", "and", "of"). Flesch-Kincaid ignores word familiarity entirely. For ESL audiences, EFLAW is the more honest metric.

كيف تعمل

McAlpine's EFLAW (English as a Foreign Language) score uses one simple formula: (words + mini-words) / sentences, where mini-words have 3 or fewer letters.

It rewards short common words (the, of, an, to, it) — exactly the words ESL readers find easiest.

Bands: ≤20 very easy, 20-24 easy, 25-28 moderate, 29+ difficult. Aim for ≤25 for global business audiences.

الأسئلة الشائعة

Who is EFLAW for?

Writers targeting non-native English readers — global product copy, ESL teaching material, simplified news, plain-language guidelines.

What's a good EFLAW score?

Under 25 for global business audiences. Under 20 is very easy and suitable for ESL beginners.

Why count "mini-words"?

Common short words (the, of, an, to, it) are what ESL readers find easiest. Counting them gives the formula a way to reward genuinely simple writing.

مثال عملي

الإدخال

"To get to the shop, walk down the road and turn right at the end."

الناتج

EFLAW 17.0 — very easy.

Fifteen words plus eight mini-words (≤3 letters) in one sentence: (15 + 8) / 1 = 23. Wait — that's 23 which is "easy" not "very easy". For very easy, aim under 20.

أخطاء شائعة

  • EFLAW is sentence-bound — bullet lists artificially shorten the score.
  • It doesn't penalize unusual long words by frequency, only by length.
  • Not validated outside English.
  • A short sample with one long sentence will mislead.
