Jenga Format

Jenga format is a content transformation technique designed to enhance web page readability for non-native English readers. Developed by Chen-Hsiang Yu and Robert C. Miller at MIT, it restructures text presentation by visually grouping syntactic units within sentences, making grammatical relationships more apparent and aiding reading comprehension. The format was validated through user studies showing improved comprehension and satisfaction among ESL (English as a Second Language) readers. It can be applied to web pages, and more recently to PDF documents through tools like PDFroggy.
