<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif">I know of two internet sites where corpora can be used by students.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif">The first one is from Professor Daniel Kies' (College of Du Page in Illinois) The Hyper Textbook, a textbook he wrote for his composition course. One part is dedicated to Conrad's <EM>The Heart of Darkness </EM>which he presents with strings from a concordancer and then he invites students to use a concordancer that he has set up. He also uses concordances in this hyper-textbook for examples in his explanations of grammar. By the way, this is not just your average run-of-the-mill 'grammar' book. It's worth browsing through if you teach composition or applied linguistics.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif">The second on-line site is The Compleat (sic) Lexical Tutor for data driven language learning on the web. I strongly suggest browsing the tutorial first.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">----- Original Message ----<BR>From: Alex Boulton <Alex.Boulton@univ-nancy2.fr><BR>To: CORPORA@UIB.NO<BR>Sent: Wednesday, April 9, 2008 4:55:30 AM<BR>Subject: [Corpora-List] Data-Driven Learning materials<BR><BR>Dear all <BR><BR>I'm trying to compile a list of published <B class=moz-txt-star><SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN>DDL materials<SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN></B> for (L2) language learning -- not materials which are simply corpus-informed (from native-speaker or learner corpora), but where learners actually come into contact with corpus data. <BR><BR>I'm particularly interested in <B>books, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMS or internet sites</B> which are either wholly given over to DDL or which integrate DDL activities in part -- anything which shows publishers have shown an interest in DDL materials. (eg Tribble & Jones Concordances in the Classroom; Barlow &
Burdine Phrasal Verbs in Business / American Phrasal Verbs; Thurston & Candlin Exploring Academic English; LingoNet VideoCorpus; etc.) <BR><BR>While I'm mainly concerned with published materials, I'd also be interested in any links to <B class=moz-txt-star><SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN>other DDL resources<SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN></B> which individuals or groups may have produced but not published, especially on-line -- again, not corpora, tools or interfaces on their own, but activities explicitly based on corpora. (eg Tim Johns' Virtual DDL Library / Kibbitzing One-to-Ones; Estling Vannestål & Lindquist's Corpora in Grammar Teaching; ICT4LT; etc.) <BR><BR>The above examples are inevitable English-oriented, but materials in or about other languages would be more than welcome. <BR><BR>I will of course post results to Corpora List, but I'd also like to create a web page which lists them as a complement to Tim Johns' data-driven learning
page (last revised 06/02/97), and review as many as possible. I'd be grateful also then for URLs and references to published <B class=moz-txt-star><SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN>reviews and descriptions<SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN></B>... or even <B class=moz-txt-star><SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN>free samples<SPAN class=moz-txt-tag></SPAN></B> if you have them! <BR><BR>Thanks in advance <BR>alex
