Publishers and online learning companies all wrestle with the same challenge: producing large volumes of high-quality, level-appropriate content — quickly, affordably, and without ever compromising on what's best for the learner. Helping to solve that challenge is what I've spent the last 30 years doing, and what I still love most about this work.

I'm Dr. Charles Browne, Professor of Applied Linguistics, creator of the NGSL Project, and U.S. State Department English Language Specialist. I've built AI-powered development pipelines producing more than 300 graded readers for major publishers in the past year alone, created vocabulary and assessment systems for companies like Cambridge University Press, NHK, and GoFluent, and advised online language learning companies of every size for more than two decades.

If any of that sounds like the kind of help you're looking for, browse the site to see what I do — then drop me a line. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
