Abstract :
Our aim is to improve the summary activity and the understanding of texts. We design a TEL environment, Resum´Web, which we present to grade 10 students. It delivers feedback, not necessarily correct, on two tasks: 1) selection of important sentences and 2) identification of type of produced sentences. The system appears to benefit the first task and the produced sentences distribution when the important sentences of a text are more salient. However, we do not observe any effect on the first task nor on the understanding.
