Result description
The Complexity Framework Toolkit includes three interconnected results: (1) a multilingual framework defining three levels of text complexity (Very Easy, Easy, and Plain, aligned with CEFR A1–B1); (2) baselines used to define complexity lexicons; and (3) basic lexicons for French, Portuguese, and Spanish. These resources enable trainers, researchers, and developers to evaluate and adapt texts for low-literacy adults in Adult Learning and VET settings. Validated by experts, they support evidence-based material development and language technology integration.
