     LEARNER ENGLISH ON COMPUTER
     Edited by SYLVIANE GRANGER,
     Professor of English Linguistics and Language at the Catholic
     University of Louvain, Belgium

     Paper      0 582 29883 0

     Studies in Language and Linguistics Series

     The first book of its kind, Learner English on Computer is intended to
     provide linguists, students of linguistics and other language and ELT
     professionals with a highly accessible and comprehensive introduction
     to the new and rapidly-expanding field of corpus-based research into
     learner language. Edited by the founder and co-ordinator of the
     International Corpus of Learner English (ICLE), the book contains
     articles on all aspects of corpus compilation, design and analysis.


     *       provides a comprehensive overview of the field, explaining
     links with corpus and applied linguistics, second language acquisition
     and ELT

     *       reviews the software tools which are currently available for
     analysing learner language and contains useful examples of how they
     can be used

     *       contains eight case studies in which computer learner corpora
     are analysed

     *       the articles contain a wide range of methodologies with broad
     general application

     *       contains chapters which look at how Computer Learner Corpus
     (CLC) based studies can help improve pedagogical tools: EFL grammars,
     dictionaries, writing textbooks and electronic tools.

     *       implications for classroom methodology are also discussed.
