ILR Rating Tool for Reading and Listening

SmartILR is an AI-powered ILR rating tool built for language teachers who need fast, consistent, and defensible passage evaluations. Whether you're assessing a reading text or a listening sample, SmartILR walks through the same analytical framework a trained ILR rater uses — and produces a structured justification you can review, share, or build on.

Rating passages manually takes time and requires deep familiarity with ILR descriptors across levels. SmartILR reduces that burden by automating the analytical layer while keeping the teacher in control of the final decision.

What SmartILR analyzes

• Reading passages: vocabulary difficulty, discourse organization, inferential demand, and syntactic complexity
• Listening samples: delivery pace, speaker clarity, topic abstraction, and functional listening difficulty
• Level placement: assigned ILR level with ceiling rationale and floor rationale
• Rubric scoring: numeric breakdown across standard rating dimensions

How teachers use it

Paste a reading passage or upload an audio file. SmartILR identifies the probable ILR level, explains why the text places at that level, and shows what would need to change for it to qualify as a level higher or lower. You get a full report — not just a number.

Teachers working on DLPT-style assessments, curriculum alignment, or self-study materials use SmartILR to pre-screen passages before classroom use or to document level decisions during test development.

Supported languages and modes

SmartILR supports reading and listening evaluation in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and other languages. The interface auto-detects the passage language in most cases, or you can specify it manually for ambiguous samples.
