However, most are aimed at L1 readers and do not specifi cally examine the text from an L2 viewpoint. The CEFR project of the Council of Europe has gone a long way to redressing this problem. This paper looks at a range of the different formulas and vocabulary lists, and adds a further list, the level at which the vocabulary is introduced to Japanese school students. The paper outlines the construction of a spreadsheet to apply this list plus other lists and formulas to texts. The results are then compared with those provided by online readability formulas.}, pages = {27--38}, title = {Understanding Readability Applying readability measures to long-form exam questions}, year = {2021} }
