[Corpora-List] Concrete uses of learner corpus data: summary

Tue Dec 31 11:57:22 UTC 2013

Dear colleagues,

Thanks to those of you who provided me with information on concrete uses of learner corpus data. I attach a summary of the answers below. The potential is clearly there but it looks as if there are not many up-and-running applications yet. If you have further thoughts on this issue, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Best wishes for 2014!

Sylviane

Objet : [Corpora-List] Use of learner corpus data

Dear all,

I'm looking for as much information as possible on concrete uses of learner corpus data for:

- curriculum and materials design (textbooks, vocabulary books, CALL programs, writing aids, etc.)
- reference tools (pedagogical grammars and dictionaries)
- classroom methodology 

Many publications describe the potential use of learner corpus data, but I would like to collect information on actual use. The data can be used indirectly (selection and ordering of sections) or directly (inclusion of error detection and correction exercises based on authentic learner errors, data-driven learning exercises using learner corpus data). 

You can send the information to the list or directly to me. I'll post a summary of the responses to the list. 

Many thanks for your help!

Best wishes,

Sylviane
