<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear listmembers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am looking for freely accessible learner corpora of
english texts written by learners with different L1 backgrounds. I have
been searching the internet, and so far I have found the following
corpora:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- Longman Learners' Corpus (requests for a research access
have gone unanswered so far)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- ICLE Corpus (research access has been
refused)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- Cambridge Learner Corpus (not available for research
purposes)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am also aware of the MAELC corpus. However, this is a
corpus of adult learners, and I would prefer texts written by younger
learners.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Is anyone on the list aware of any other learner corpora
of this kind that would be freely accessible for research purposes?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>With best regards,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
