[Corpora-List] Corpus of Asian learners of English

[Eric Atwell]

I have a small World Wide English corpus online:
http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/eric/wwe.shtml

c90 subcorpora of English from countries around the world:
200,000-word web-corpora compiled from English-language websites in each
country, collected by School of Computing students.

The countries (WWW Top Level Domains) covered include several in Asia:
United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, China, Christmas Island, Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Israel, India, Iran, Jordan, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Lebanon,
Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi
Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, Taiwan, Vietnam

But note this DISCLAIMER:
The subcorpora were collected by web-crawler from English-language 
web-pages restricted to a given WWW Top Level Domain, and collected by 
Computing students (not Linguistics students) so they may not be
representative of the EFL text you seek to collect.

But let me know if these are of any use to you.
