Call for papers: Corpora and Data-Driven Learning for younger learners

Editors: Peter Crosthwaite, School of Languages and Cultures, University of
Queensland

This is a call for papers for an edited book focusing on the use of corpora
for data-driven learning (DDL, Johns, 1991) with young (i.e. pre-tertiary)
learners. DDL, despite being a feature of corpora and language learning
research for some time, has really taken off as a viable methodological
approach in the last decade due to innovations in corpus query interfaces,
data visualisation, open access and improved internet access/speed. However,
for a number of reasons including access, resources and difficulties in
convincing those outside academia of the value of DDL, the majority of studies
on DDL are conducted with tertiary or adult learners, leaving DDL for younger
learners (those in pre-school, primary, or secondary education) as a
relatively underexplored area in the literature.

With this in mind, chapter proposals are invited that explore the use of DDL
with younger learners.  Studies dealing with DDL for first or second language
acquisition, genre and register learning/teaching and DDL for the
teaching/learning of subjects other than languages are particularly welcome.
The corpora involved in any of these studies can be spoken, written or
multimodal. Chapters may be empirical studies of corpus use and its effects on
learning, studies that explore the perceptions of corpus use by younger
learners/teachers of younger learners, or studies that make a novel
contribution to theory or methodology, such as new software or corpora that
deal specifically with younger learners, and new approaches in training
teachers / students of younger learners in DDL techniques.

Final chapters will be approximately 6000-7500 words. Chapter proposals of
400-500 words are due March 31, 2018.  The edited volume is to be published in
2019 by Routledge, part of the Taylor and Francis publishing group. 

Please feel free to signal your interest or discuss your ideas by contacting
the editor at p.cros at uq.edu.au. Proposals should likewise be sent to the
editor via email.

Many thanks!
