<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>At the Research Centre for English Language Teaching,
Testing and Assessment (RCEL) of the University of Athens, Greece, we have
a large corpus of graded (according to levels) and marked scripts,
produced by EFL speakers in Greece who've taken the national foreign
standardized language exams in English. Not everyone has Greek as L1, but we are
taking for granted that all test-takers know Greek as a working language -
two of the test papers include mediation tasks. Your student may
officialy apply to obtain a chunk of data by writing to <A
href="mailto:rcel@enl.uoa.gr">rcel@enl.uoa.gr</A> to say what s/he needs it
for and how she will treat it, what amount of data s/he needs, etc. As for data
that has been produced by EFL speakers of distinct languages, I know that
Cambridge ESOL have them and are using them for their English Profile project.
However, I do not think that they make them available - and without a
fee.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR>Dear Colleagues,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I received the following inquiry from my colleageu, Ernest Davis</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="mailto:davise@cs.nyu.edu" target=_blank>davise@cs.nyu.edu</A>
</DIV>
<P>Re:Corpus of writing/speech by non-native English speakers</P>
<P> </P>
<P>"Do you know of any corpus of either English texts written by non-native
speakers, studying English as a second language, or transcribed speech, by the
same? Preferably a collection that includes speakers with a number of
different native languages (e.g. some Spanish, some Russian, some Chinese,
etc.) A student of mine is looking for a collection of these kinds of texts in
connection with a research project she wants to do.</P>
<P>Thanks,<BR>Ernie"</P>
