<DIV><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN class=850252523-12052008>I thought I
should let you know that we have just put online a video and PowerPoint slides
(in pdf format) of an introductory demo of the new web-interface to the Michigan
Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE). The demo was given by Stefanie
Wulff and myself as an in-house presentation at the UM English Language
Institute in December 2007. Stefanie and I explain how MICASE online can be
accessed (i.e. how the corpus can be searched and browsed and how the
search/browse results can be analysed and saved) and give
examples of how MICASE online output can be used in the creation of teaching and
testing materials. The video and slides of the presentation we used are both
linked from the MICASE index website at <A
href="http://lw.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/index.htm">http://lw.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/index.htm</A>.

The presentation slides are available at <A

video takes a minute or two to load and appears only in a small window, but the
resolution and sound quality are quite good, and you can look at the slides
alongside if not everything is legible on the screen). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
