This paper describes a resource-rich toolkit that assists EFL writers take a discovery-based approach to writing accurate and fluent English. The system helps learners identify lexico-grammatical errors by matching patterns gleaned from a very large corpus of learners' texts. Users are guided to appropriate language patterns as they write and revise through online declarative and procedural resources. Even as more robust and fully automatic feedback technologies evolve, comprehensive resource-rich support will remain necessary for second-language (L2) writers who must develop practical life-long language learning strategies. To assist language tutors support novice L2 writers, we have also produced tools that help tutors reinforce their students' independent writing and proofreading strategies. The operation and rationale of this approach have been implemented and evaluated in several Hong Kong universities and secondary schools.
